Product Description

For over thirty years, the Ignitor has proven itself in applications ranging from race cars to tractors. The Ignitor replaces breaker points and troublesome factory electronic ignitions with a dependable, self contained and maintenance free electronic ignition system. The Ignitor has been called the stealth ignition because of its quick installation and nearly undetectable presence under your distributor cap. There is no black-box to clutter the engine compartment. For optimal performance, use the Ignitor with Flame-Thrower 40,000 volt coils.

Great product. Installation was easy. I installed it in a spare distributor and then switched distributors. Wiring was easy enough. Instructions were good. Engine starts much faster. I recommend the conversion and quit messing with foreign poor quality contacts!

I installed the Petronix 1281 in my 1966 T-Bird along with a 40011 Flame Thrower coil. The installation was very simple and I'm very satisfied with the way the products perform. I was able to re-gap the plugs from .035 to .045 which should give me longer plug life.
