Petronics FLAME-THROWER III User manual

! Caution: Flame-Thrower III 0.32 coils should not be used with the (original)
Ignitor, Ignitor II or point type ignition system. Flame-Thrower III coils are only
compatible with Ignitor III ignition systems, and most Capacitive Discharge (CD)
systems that control the dwell period, or limit the current. (12volt negative ground
systems)
HIGH PERFORMANCE COIL
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
* Legal in all 50 states and Canada
CARB E. O. #D-57-17
BALLAST RESISTOR or RESISTANCE WIRE
The ballast resistor needs to be removed if the Flame-Thrower III coil is used with the
Ignitor III, or any Capacitive Discharge (CD) system that controls dwell or limits the
current. This only applies to Ignitor III, or Capacitive Discharge systems.
1. To remove a ballast resistor (normally white ceramic blocks 3 to 4” inches long),
disconnect all wires on both ends of the ballast resistor. Remove the resistor from
the vehicle and splice the wires together at a single point.
2. To remove a resistance wire, trace the coil power wire, which was previously
connected to the positive coil terminal, back to the fuse block. Bypass this wire with
a 12-gauge copper stranded wire.
If the vehicle has a ballast resistor or resistance wire, and is not equipped with
one of the systems mentioned above, the ballast resistor should not be removed.

1. Make sure the ignition switch is off or disconnect the battery negative cable.
2. Remove the coil wire from the coil tower.
3. Remove all wires from the positive coil terminal.
4. Remove all wires from the negative coil terminal.
5. Loosen the coil clamp and remove the existing coil.
6. Install FlameThrower III coil into the coil clamp and tighten into place. Note: If
the Flame-Thrower III coil does not fit properly in the existing coil clamp,
purchase PerTronix chrome clamp #10002 or zinc clamp #10001.
7. Connect the wires that were removed from the negative coil terminal of the old coil
to the negative terminal of the Flame-Thrower III coil.
8. Connect the wires that were removed from the positive coil terminal of the old coil
to the positive terminal of the Flame-Thrower III coil.
9. Push the coil wire into the coil tower making sure that the boot is secure around the
coil tower.
