I recently installed the Pertronix 40011 Flame-Thrower Ignition Coil in my car, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. This coil has really made a noticeable difference in performance. The 40,000-volt output gives the engine a much stronger spark, leading to smoother starts and more consistent power delivery across the RPM range. The installation was straightforward, and the quality of the coil itself is top-notch. The 1.5-ohm resistance is ideal for most 12-volt systems, and I love that it’s a direct replacement for my existing coil, meaning no modifications were needed. I’ve seen improved throttle response and fuel efficiency since installing it, which is exactly what I was hoping for. Plus, the sleek black design looks great under the hood. If you’re looking to boost your engine's performance and reliability, I highly recommend this ignition coil. Read more

I recently installed this flame thrower ignition coil in my classic car, and the difference in performance has been incredible! The coil is very well-made, with high-quality materials that feel solid and durable. It was easy to install and fit perfectly with my existing ignition system. Since installing the coil, I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the engine's starting performance. The engine now starts faster, runs smoother, and idles more consistently. The increased spark energy also makes the engine feel more responsive, particularly during acceleration, which was a big plus for me. Read more

I have a 65 Chevelle that is drive extremely often with a stock 283 and Pertronix ignition. This car comes factory with a coil resister wire built into the harness therefore, the original coil is an "external resistor required" coil. The resistor wire is no longer needed with the Pertronix ignition but i have been running this electronic ignition with the resistor wire intact and a factory 3OHM external resistor required coil for 10 + years. I have chosen to replace my factory 3OHM coil for this Pertronix 1.5OHM coil to allow a little more current flow to my Pertronix ignition. In the event the Pertronix Eletronic ignition were to fail, I could re install my points without a worry because my resistor wire is still intact and this high flow coil is not going to burn my points in one trip home.. for each and every day that the electronic system doesn't fail, then ill be feeding my Pertronix electronic ignition with a slight bit more power which is creating a stronger spark. My findings on the product quality and size, its slightly shorter and slightly larger in diameter than a factory 65 Chevelle coil. It still fit in the factory coil bracket, but it needed to be worked in there because it was tight. It came with nice new terminal post nuts and the main coil wire clipped in there snug. If this coil fails me, I'll update my post. Read more

Has worked great so far on my ‘63 corvette FI. I’m running the Pertronix electronic ignition kit 1181 with this coil, which allows me to bypass the ballast resistor since the coil is 1.5 ohms. Read more

I recently installed the Pertronix 40011 Flame-Thrower Ignition Coil on my classic car, and I couldn't be happier with the results! The coil is well-built, and the installation was straightforward. The 40,000 volts it provides really make a noticeable difference in engine performance. My engine now runs smoother, with quicker starts and a slight increase in overall power. It seems to really improve the ignition efficiency, especially at higher RPMs. I also love the compact design, which fit perfectly in my engine bay without taking up too much space. The black finish is sleek and blends well with my engine’s aesthetic. After running a few tanks of fuel, I’ve noticed a slight improvement in fuel economy as well. This ignition coil is definitely a quality upgrade for anyone looking to enhance their vehicle's performance without breaking the bank. Highly recommended! Read more
