Pertronix Ignitor Hall Effect Ignition 2:1 Boost

Description

Product Overview

The Pertronix Ignitor is a precision‑engineered Hall Effect ignition module that replaces traditional points with a solid‑state solution. Weighing just 3.2 ounces and measuring 4.8 x 4.9 x 1.6 inches, the unit fits seamlessly into most aftermarket and OEM applications. Its machined exterior houses rotating cobalt magnets that activate an integrated Hall Effect circuit, delivering a clean, spark‑free signal to the coil. When paired with Pertronix Flame‑Thrower coils (P/Ns 40001, 40011, 40101, 40111), the Ignitor provides a two‑to‑one (2:1) improvement in voltage output, translating to noticeable gains in horsepower, fuel economy, and spark plug life. The epoxy molding protects the electronics from oil, grease, moisture, and road‑dust, ensuring long‑term reliability.

Usage

Designed for street‑driven performance cars, classic restorations, and high‑output race builds, the Ignitor thrives in environments where consistent timing and durability are critical. Install the module in place of conventional points on any compatible Pertronix coil system to eliminate the need for periodic adjustments and wear‑related failures. Whether you’re cruising daily, tackling a weekend track day, or restoring a vintage engine, the Ignitor’s stable timing and increased coil output deliver smoother acceleration and improved throttle response.

FAQ

Can the Ignitor be used with non‑Pertronix coils?

While the Ignitor is optimized for Pertronix Flame‑Thrower coils, it can operate with other compatible coil types that accept a Hall Effect signal. Performance gains may vary.

Is any special wiring required for installation?

No. The Ignitor uses the same connector and wiring harness as traditional points, making it a direct‑swap replacement without additional wiring.

How does the epoxy housing improve reliability?

The epoxy encapsulation seals the internal electronics, preventing contaminants such as oil, water, and road grime from reaching sensitive components, which greatly extends service life.

What maintenance does the Ignitor require?

None. With no moving parts or points to wear, the module operates maintenance‑free after installation. Periodic visual inspection is recommended.

Will the Ignitor affect my vehicle’s emissions?

The improved spark efficiency can lead to more complete combustion, potentially reducing unburned hydrocarbons. However, it does not alter emissions compliance and should be used in accordance with local regulations.
