"Which Pertronix electronic ignition system should I go with?
1) The Pertronix Ignitor (part #1146A) electronic ignition system with the Flame thrower 40,000 volt 3 ohm epoxy coil?
or
2) The Pertronix Ignitor II (part #91146A)electronic ignition system with the Flame Thrower II 45,000 volt epoxy (I think 0.65 ohm) coil?
Does it make much of a difference in the amount of power you would get out of the two choices? The resistance on the two are alot different? I would like to go with the Flamethrower II if possible and as long as it would not damage my engine! But was not sure what direction everyone else who has done the upgrade has gone. I read all of the information about both systems and was trying to get as much power and efficiency for a little more money. The two sites that I found the parts on offered both as an option but the description states that the Ignitor II and Flamethrower II are more for racing engines but can be used for ultimate stock engine performance. (not exact words but close enough) Twice the spark of original points setup,more power, better fuel economy and chip that advances timing as needed at higher rpms. Just wanted to see what you guys are running and why you picked what you picked. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Tom"
