The Pertronix Flame-Thrower Street/Strip HEI distributor is a ready to run unit for Chevrolet small block and big block V8 engines. It uses a magnetic pickup with a high output HEI module and a self contained coil, so no external ignition box is needed. Vacuum and mechanical advance let the timing curve be tuned for the combination, and the lightweight aluminum housing rides on bronze bushings for reliable operation past 7500 RPM.

What engines does the D1000 fit?
