! Caution: Flame-Thrower III 0.32 coils should not be used with the (original)
Ignitor, Ignitor II or point type ignition system. Flame-Thrower III coils are only
compatible with Ignitor III ignition systems, and most Capacitive Discharge (CD)
systems that control the dwell period, or limit the current. (12volt negative ground
systems)
HIGH PERFORMANCE COIL

* Legal in all 50 states and Canada
CARB E. O. #D-57-17
BALLAST RESISTOR or RESISTANCE WIRE
The ballast resistor needs to be removed if the Flame-Thrower III coil is used with the
Ignitor III, or any Capacitive Discharge (CD) system that controls dwell or limits the
current. This only applies to Ignitor III, or Capacitive Discharge systems.
1. To remove a ballast resistor (normally white ceramic blocks 3 to 4” inches long),
disconnect all wires on both ends of the ballast resistor. Remove the resistor from
the vehicle and splice the wires together at a single point.
2. To remove a resistance wire, trace the coil power wire, which was previously
connected to the positive coil terminal, back to the fuse block. Bypass this wire with
a 12-gauge copper stranded wire.
If the vehicle has a ballast resistor or resistance wire, and is not equipped with
one of the systems mentioned above, the ballast resistor should not be removed.
