The Pertronix Flame-Thrower Race HEI distributor is a high RPM unit for Chevrolet small block and big block V8 race engines. It uses mechanical advance only with no vacuum canister, a magnetic pickup, and a race module for consistent spark in the 6000 to 8500 RPM range. The lightweight cast aluminum housing uses bronze bushings, and the steel gear is ground for a tight mesh with the camshaft. This is a race only distributor. It is intended for closed course competition or pre emissions vehicles only and is not legal for use on emissions controlled vehicles on public roads under the Clean Air Act.
