Description

While it’s the perfect coil to go with the PerTronix Ignitor breakerless ignition, our 40,000 volt Flame-Thrower canister coil can benefit virtually any distributor type inductive system. Its higher voltage allows largerspark plug gaps for added power, smoother response and better fuel economy. These coils are internally resisted so installation and wiring is drastically simplified. Our oil filled coils offer great heat control for street driven vehicles, while our epoxy filled coils provide superior winding support for high vibration environments in off-road vehicles and boats.

3.0ohms provides full power

bought this because my 1.5Ohm coil was not enough to go with the Pertronix electronic ignition on my OMC Cobra 3.0L . Simple install and it worked perfect out of the box. with The 3.0ohms coil, engine now runs full power at full throttle. Thanks.
