The Pertronix Flame-Thrower cast distributor is a plug and play replacement for the worn Lucas 35D distributor used on Rover V8 engines and Rover V8 swaps. It carries a built in Ignitor electronic module triggered by rotating cobalt magnets and a Hall Effect circuit, and installation takes only two wire connections. Vacuum and mechanical advance let the timing curve be tuned, and the cast aluminum housing keeps a stock appearance.
