Ignitor®

For over forty 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 FlameThrower 40,000 volt coils.

Ignitor® I Features & Benefits

  • Delivers twice the voltage to the spark plugs, increasing horsepower, fuel economy, and spark plug life
  • 2:1 improvement over “points” in current fall time for increased coil output
  • Rotating cobalt magnets* trigger a Hall Effect integrated circuit....no points to burn,
    ...no moving parts to wear out
  • Epoxy molding makes our module impervious to dirt, oil, grease and moisture
  • Stable timing ...no need for adjustment
  • Will trigger most CD ignitions
  • Available for 6 and 12-volt negative and
    positive ground systems
  • Legal in all 50 states and Canada.

Ignitor® II

The Ignitor II has many of the same great features that the Ignitor has, but even more. The Ignitor II units sense the coil current level and use a powerful micro controller to adjust the dwell. Variable dwell helps to maintain peak energy throughout the entire RPM range. Ignitor II systems develop significantly more energy between 3000 and 5000 RPM than standard ignition systems. High RPM performance is improved when used with the Flame-Thrower II super low resistance (0.6 ohms) 45,000 volt coils.

Ignitor® II Features & Benefits

  • Adaptive dwell maintains peak energy throughout the entire RPM range, reducing misfires while improving engine performance
  • Develops on average 4 times more available energy between 3000 and 5000 RPM, and 2 times more available plug voltage
  • Compensates for inherent electronic delay by adjusting the spark timing throughout the entire RPM range
  • Synchronized peak current and spark timing reduces heat build-up
  • Senses startup and develops more energy
    for quicker, easier starting
  • Built in reverse polarity and over current protection shuts down the system, preventing component damage
  • Epoxy molding makes our module impervious to dirt, oil, grease and moisture
  • Stable timing ...no need for adjustment
  • Will trigger most CD ignitions
  • Legal in all 50 states and Canada.

Ignitor® III

Our Ignitor III ignition module is designed for the serious performance enthusiast who demands serious power. You have seen the performance increases the Ignitor and Ignitor II series of electronic ignitions have brought. Now get ready for more... 5 times more spark energy than a typical points system. Ignitor III modules provide ignition box performance... without the “box”! For the maximum Ignitor III benefit, select one of our Flame-Thrower III or HC ignition coils.
