     If you’re looking for a new coil to go with your Ignitor or a replacement for your existing ignition system, consider one of the  Flame-Thrower high performance coils.  They provide substantially higher output potential than an OEM unit.  They come oil-filled black, oil-filled chrome  plated, or black epoxy.  The epoxy coils are recommended for high vibration environments such as racing, off-road driving, or marine applications.  

     We want to tell you up front that the PerTronix are coming from China.  Problems with quality and timely delivery from American sources have forced the folks at PerTronix to look elsewhere.  We are well aware that there is junk coming out of China but there are also very high quality products made there.  PerTronix sent a team to China to be sure that the  manufacturer could meet their specs and stringent quality requirements.  The coils we are getting from China are excellent and we at Retro Rockets back them with a full year warranty.  We understand if you do not want to put foreign made items in your American iron, but if you are looking for a quality product for your vehicle regardless of the source we offer you the PerTronix  Flame-Thrower Coils.
