I am looking at the Pertonix Ignitor II for my 74 2.0L. Pelican also lists the Flame Thrower II coil as recommended for this ignition.
However, they come in epoxy and oil filled forms? What's the difference? Also, I heard that if you switch to a Pertronix setup then you can not have your key in the on position and not starting the car (say to listen to the radio) for an extended period of time as this can burn out the coil. Is that true with the Ignitor II or was that true only with the Ignitor I? TIA...learning tons here. |

In the 40 years I wrenched professionally, and the thousands of cars I serviced and repaired during that time, I don't think I sold more than 30-35 coils, and many of those were specialty coils on later model cars. Maybe 10 or 15 coils total on VWs or older Porsches. Not something I would worry about. Stick with whatcha got.
