The Pertronix Flame-Thrower Cast Distributor (D170600) is a plug-and-play electronic ignition distributor for British 4-cylinder (BMC A and B series) engines. It uses the built-in Ignitor II electronic ignition with a magnetic pickup trigger, so there are no points to wear out and no separate ignition module to mount. The unit ships as a complete assembly with a socket-style black cap and provides mechanical advance (non-vacuum). It is configured for 12-volt negative ground systems. It is sold individually.
