PerTronix Ignitor II
The Ignitor II's sophisticated circuitry and powerful microprocessor set a new standard of performance. Combine the Ignitor II with the new, low resistance Flame-Thrower II Coil and you will have the ultimate in electronic ignition conversions. (See "Features" below.)
The Ignitor II and Coil II combo is not for everyone. If your vehicle is primarily used for normal driving and the engine is stock, the regular Ignitor and Coil will more than meet your needs. But if you race, or if you want to realize every last ounce of performance potential from your warmed-up engine, then the Ignitor II and Coil II are the way to fly.
We at Retro Rockets were the first to test the Ignitor II and Flame-Thrower II Coil versus points at the drag strip. We ran a '69 Corvette with a mildly modified 350 engine. Here's what we got for the average of our best three runs with each configuration:
| Points & OEM Coil | Ignitor II & Flame-Thrower II Coil |
| 14.698 sec @ 95.41 mph | 14.537 sec @ 97.43 mph |

Ignitor II Features:
 | Adaptive Dwell Control - Dwell increases with RPM to provide an average of 4 times the available energy between 3000 and 5000 RPM and twice the available voltage at the plug. |
| A March, 2001 Hot Rod article showed Ignitor II spark duration averaging about 2.5 milliseconds compared to 1.4 milliseconds average for points and 1.8-2.0 milliseconds average for HEI distributors. |
| Senses engine startup and increases dwell to provide hotter starting spark. |
| Senses if it is incorrectly wired or if the key is left on without the engine running and shuts itself off to protect the circuitry and the coil. |
| Adjusts spark timing over the entire RPM range to compensate for delay typically inherent in electronic circuitry to provide more stable timing. |
| Still fits entirely within your existing distributor like the original Ignitors - no black box to mount on your firewall. |
| 30 month warranty. |
| CARB E.O. #D-57-8, legal in all 50 states and Canada. |
