PERTRONIX

Ditch the Points and Experience Maintenance-Free Ignition

For decades, the weakest link in the classic Volkswagen engine has been the points and condenser system. Constant adjusting, pitting, and eventual failure are hassles every VW owner knows too well. Pertronix Performance Products changed the game with the original Ignitor® electronic ignition—a solid-state system that fits entirely inside your distributor, maintaining a stock look while providing modern reliability.

Appletree Automotive is your headquarters for Pertronix upgrades. Whether you’re looking to stabilize the idle on your daily driver Beetle or maximize the power of your high-performance sand rail, Pertronix delivers the "set it and forget it" solution.

Why Upgrade to Pertronix from Appletree?

• The Legendary Ignitor Series: Replace your mechanical points with a system that has no moving parts to wear out. The Ignitor, Ignitor II, and Ignitor III kits offer increased spark energy, quicker starts, and improved timing accuracy across the entire RPM range.

• Flame-Thrower High-Voltage Coils: To get the most out of your electronic ignition, you need a coil that can keep up. Pertronix Flame-Thrower coils deliver up to 45,000 volts, allowing for larger spark plug gaps and a more complete fuel burn for increased horsepower and better fuel economy.

• "Invisible" Performance: One of the best features of the Pertronix system is that it’s completely contained within the distributor cap. You get modern performance without ruining the vintage aesthetic of your engine bay.

• Simple Bolt-On Installation: Most Pertronix kits can be installed in about 15 minutes with basic hand tools. It is one of the most cost-effective and impactful upgrades you can perform on a Type 1, 2, or 3 engine.

• Expert Technical Support: At Appletree Automotive, we’ve installed countless Pertronix units. We can help you choose between the original Ignitor or the advanced multi-spark Ignitor III to ensure your ignition system perfectly matches your engine's requirements.

Stop messing with feeler gauges and unreliable points. Upgrade to the precision of Pertronix at Appletree Automotive and enjoy a smoother, more reliable Volkswagen experience every time you turn the key.
