Pertronix flamethrower coils: spec's ?

[40 Deluxe]

Another widely misunderstood fact is that the coil does not continuously produce its advertised output. A coil will produce only the amount of voltage necessary to jump the gap(s) in the secondary circuit. (rotor/cap,wires,plug gaps) and no more. Most of the time the engine runs on a fraction of a coils rated output.

This is fact!! Anyone who thinks a "40,000 volt" coil always puts out 40,000 volts at every spark needs to copy this and put it on the shop refrigerator!

Pertronix epoxies now made in China. Different label on coil than prior offerings.

I can imagine all of Pertronix components are made in China. That doesn't mean they are necessarily bad. People are buying Burtz engines aren't they?

Yup! I've been saying that for years. It seems like every second car on the roads here these days is Chinese (mostly electric) and it's growing rapidly. They must be doing something right.
