The Pertronix Flame Thrower Distributor with Ignitor 1 Electronic Ignition Module can be used on all VW Type 1,2 & 3 carbureted engines. The Flame Thrower performance description has all of the great aspects of the popular Bosch 009 and 050 distributors. The Ignitor Ignition module inside the flame thrower distributor ensures fast starts, better performance, better fuel economy, and it eliminates the points and condenser.
PerTronix Flame Thrower Distributor with Ignitor Electronic Ignition Features:
A coil with 3 to 4.2 ohms of resistance is required with the Pertronix Ignitor Ignition Module. Pertronix recommends the 40611 or PT40501 coil, available separately or in the Additional Options tab above.
Note, Suppression or Spiral wound spark plug wires must be used with the Ignitor, solid core plug wires will cause electronic interference
Please note: this distributor will not work with fuel injected engines.
The PerTronix ignition module replaces the old points and condensor with a Hall Effect ignition triggering system that has no wearing parts, and if installed properly and used with an appropriate coil will last for hundreds of thousands of miles. Installing the module is simple, just make sure to not hook up the wires backwards as doing so will fry the module instantly. See the "Tech Tips" tab for more information.
Unless you have a tachometer (gauge), the distributor should be the only item connected to the negative (“1” or “-“) side of the ignition coil.
(Note, the negative connection on the coil should never be connected to ground. Doing so will ground out the coil and it will not operate.)
