Is it required to install a Flamethrower coil when installing a Pertronix ignitor system or is it just recommended? Will a stock coil work fine?

A stock coil will work fine.

it's recommended but not essential. i'd get one anyway to be safe.

The Pertronix Ignitor does NOTHING that good old fashioned points don't do ... the Ignitor just doesn't wear out like points do.

Run whatever coil you want.

The pertronix will smooth out your car some, but for the extra $40, might as well get the coil that goes with it. It makes the car run really good IMHO.

Huh? Where have you seen this recommendation?

Probably: "The Ignitor II ignition can be used in conjunction with most ignition coils rated at 0.6 ohms or greater. For optimum performance purchase and install the Flame-Thrower II high performance coil" ... in the Ignitor II installation instructions, natch!

More like product placement than a true recommendation, but OK.

I have been running with the Pertronix ignitor system and the original coil that came with the car new for around 35000 miles without any problems on my 66.
