Flame-Thrower III Coil - Chrome - Oil Filled

The Flame-Thrower III Coil in chrome with oil-filled construction represents a proven ignition upgrade for enthusiasts and mechanics seeking reliable performance in street, strip, and modified engine applications. Purpose-built by PERTRONIX IGNITION, this canister-style coil delivers the high-voltage output necessary for demanding spark plug firing in carbureted and fuel-injected systems. Whether you're tuning a classic hot rod, maintaining a daily driver, or diagnosing weak spark issues, this coil addresses the core requirement of consistent ignition energy under load.

At its heart, the Flame-Thrower III generates 45,000 volts of firing potential with a low primary resistance of 0.32 ohm, ensuring crisp spark timing and efficient energy transfer to the plugs. The oil-filled design provides superior thermal management and dielectric protection, extending coil life in high-heat engine bays where aftermarket headers, turbochargers, or superchargers push cooling boundaries. The chrome finish combines corrosion resistance with a professional appearance, while the female socket connection offers straightforward integration into most traditional and electronic ignition harnesses. Compact dimensions (3.6 x 2.3 x 7.1 inches) and modest weight of 1.68 pounds make installation flexible in tight engine compartments without sacrificing output quality.

Mechanics and build shops rely on the Flame-Thrower III for single-coil conversions, restoration projects, and performance troubleshooting where OEM or weak aftermarket coils fail to fire under boost or high RPM. The 45,000-volt specification is particularly valuable in engines running copper or extended-gap spark plugs, compression ratios above 10:1, or forced induction where ignition demand peaks. Verify socket type and primary resistance compatibility with your distributor cap, electronic control module, or coil pack before ordering; this model suits traditional female-socket and many electronic distributors but may require harness verification on late-model fuel-injected platforms.
