Hey guys.

I have seen some your responses on my Coil Failure Again posting and just curious on performance differences on the Ignitor/Flamethrower I and Ignitor/Flamethrower II. I have a 57 Bird with a 312 Fordomatic & Stock distributor. The car runs well with Ignitor I and stock Ford coil. Runs better with Ignitor I and Flamethrower I (1.5 ohm Epoxy filled). The biggest difference I feel is at low end pulling away from a light. The car accelerates with more pep. The plugs also show a better burn - the plugs are much cleaner with whiter porcelain. The stock Ford coil with Ballast resistor is very reliable, never any issue. The Flamethrower I seems to fail when it gets hot. The coil is being replaced under warranty. Perhaps while I am getting a replacement coil maybe I should upgrade the Ignitor / Flamethrower II. Will I see any difference in performance to upgrade? This is my second Flamethrower I in 8,000 miles. Pertronix is telling me to hook up my Flamethrower I to the external ballast resistor to remedy coil overheating.





Any comments? Thanks all.
