Review: Works. Easy install. - Anyone can install this, takes 5 minutes and is super easy. 2 nuts taken off, wires attached, nuts screwed on, plug pushed in. Once installed it will just work in the background, never needing to be messed with again. Required with some aftermarket distributors. Make sure you get the right ohm. Downside - Requires ballast resistors removed or your car wont want to start. That can be tougher than you think depending on your car. My ignition wire was a ballast resistor wire and I had to replace the whole wire from key to engine bay, not an easy task for a rear engined car. Had to go under the glued down carpet, then through the doublewalled firewall. Most cars probably dont have to worry about this, but if yours does be prepared.
Review: Good quality - Worked as it should.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super simple installatiin
*by B***Y on March 22, 2026*

My boat engine fired right up after installation. I like that it was a simple matter of three wires. Two to the neg. side (tachometer and ignitor, one to the pos. side. I installed the Flamethrower coil along with the Pertronix electronic ignitor that replaces the points. The total install time was about fifteen minutes.
