This money Saving Bundle Kit includes a brand new Vacuum Advance distributor fitted with a pertronix Ignitor 3 electronic ignition, Black Flamethrower 3 coil and Yellow Flamethrower HT leads.
For use on all Type 4 engines fitted into any aircooled VW model.
Distributor
This Flame-Thrower “Stock-Look” Distributor is fitted with a vacuum Advance unit and an Ignitor 3 electronic ignition system.
Each distributor is loaded with features that you would expect from a high performance part, yet maintain the original look for the ultimate “sleeper”.
Built with all new components.
No need to adjust your points or replace your condensors becuase each distributor comes equipped with maintenance free electronics providing decades of trouble free operation.
Each distributor is complete with a high quality cap and rotor, so you`re ready to run right out of the box.
FEATURES
- All new lightweight cast aluminium housing.
- High dielectric strength cap and rotor with brass contacts.
- Optimized phasing insures maximum energy to the spark plug.
- Tailored advance curve for optimal performance and drivability.
- Intergrated electronic ignition
IGNITOR 3 FEATURES
- Multiple sparks throughout the entire RPM range
- Integrated digital REV limiter with LED feedback for precise RPM setting
- Memory safe function stores settings eliminating unintended changes to Rev limit
- Adaptive dwell maintains peak energy throughout the entire RPM range, reducing misfires while improving engine performance
- Peak current level is reached just prior to spark for maximum energy without heat build-up, increasing coil performance and module reliability
- Adjusts spark timing at higher RPMs to compensate for the inherent electronic delay
- Senses startup and increases energy for quicker starting
- Thermal clad surface mount construction for superior reliability
- Built-in reverse polarity and over current protection shuts down the system, preventing component damage.
Ignition Coil
Flamethrower 3 coils are an uprated 45,000 volt, perfect for use with Pertronix electronic ignition (Ignitor 3 only) and Pertronix Flamethrower 8mm HT Leads
These coils are designed for high rpm vehicles giving maximum spark energy when needed, charging to peak current 30% – 70% faster than most coils.
Also suitable for most CDI or capactor discharge igntion, like Pertronix`s Second Strike, see part number AC998500
It`s higher voltage allows for larger spark plug gaps for added power, smoother response and better fuel economy.
Flamethrower HT Leads
Often the cause of poor ignition is when your High Tension Leads or HT Leads as they are more commonly known are breaking down and need replacing.
Most modern electronic ignition systems require suppression style wires to preserve sensitive components. Flamethrower 8mm HT Leads provide enhanced RFI suppression and dual current paths for more power delivered to the spark plug.
HT Leads have a thick outer insulation around a central conductor core. This thick insulation prevents arcing from the cable to any earthed engine component. The central core is normally manufactured from copper.
RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) is naturally produced by the spark being radiated by the wires which may cause malfunctions in your electrical equipment.
Various manufactures have come up with various solutions to this problem by suppressing this.
In a nutshell the more electrical equipment you have in your car the better the quality of HT lead you will need.
If you are running electronic ignition then it is vital that you use a good quality set of leads so as not to effect the running of your car.
Product Features:
- Two current paths for reliability and redundancy. The primary path is a carbon impregnated fibreglass centre core and the secondary path is a stainless steel alloy.
- Low 500 ohm per foot resistance
- 8mm Silicone jacket to resist high temeratures, moisture, oil and chemicals
- EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Methylene) inner insulation for superior heat resistance and prevention of arcing and voltage leaks
- Fibreglass reinforcing braid for added stregth and flexibility
Please Note: These are supplied with an extra long unfinished coil lead designed for performance engines that may have the coil fitted in a non standard location. Requires finishing and crimping before installation.
Fitting: Sold as a set of 5 leads which connect all the spark plugs to the distributor and then a shorter lead which connects the distributor to the ignition coil.
Fitment: These 8mm Flamethrower HT Leads replace the original leads fitted to all 1700cc, 1800cc and 2000cc Type 4 aircooled engines.
