Overview
Replacing points, an older electronic unit or a bulky HEI on the engine named in its title is the use here. The billet distributor ships with an Ignitor II module, so installation means seating it and connecting two wires.
PerTronix pitches this as an ignition upgrade that needs little work, and it suggests Flame-Thrower II coils for more spark energy and higher engine speed. The listing gives no weight, timing curve or cap type.
Who it's for
A Ford owner with this engine who wants to retire points or a bulky unit without a complicated install can use this. Owners of other Ford engines should look at the matching PerTronix part number for theirs.
Pros and cons
- Plug and play wiring
- Ignitor II module included
- Fits only the named engine
- Weight not listed
- Timing curve not described
- Coil sold separately
Performance notes
The Ignitor II module replaces the points with electronic switching, which removes the wear and gap adjustment of a points setup. The listing says a Flame-Thrower II coil raises output and engine speed potential, with no figures given.
