The Perma-Tune Black Ignition Coil is designed to complement all Perma-Tune modules, ensuring peak performance and durability for your ignition system. With its period-correct appearance featuring a brown top and black body, it seamlessly integrates with all air cooled engines from the Bug to the Porsche 930, securely fitting onto the original mounting bracket and wiring harness.
Engineered to withstand the demands of vintage car engines, this ignition coil boasts exceptional ruggedness, capable of enduring heat and vibration with ease. Double seals ensure that the dielectric oil remains securely contained within the coil, preventing any leaks. Additionally, the reinforced high-voltage tower resists arcing while still accommodating the original spark plug wire boot. Internally, the coil is engineered to resist deterioration, promising a long service life.
As a crucial element of the ignition system, the ignition coil functions as a transformer, effectively amplifying the input voltage. With the high-performance Perma-Tune coil, an input voltage of 400 Volts from a Perma-Tune module yields an impressive output of 40,000 Volts.
When replacing a failed Bosch ignition module with a Perma-Tune module, it’s highly recommended to replace the coil simultaneously. Over time, coils commonly degrade, increasing the risk of internal short circuits. This deterioration can lead to the diversion of high-voltage power intended for the spark plugs back to the low-voltage section of the coil, potentially damaging the ignition module.
Based on over 50 years of air-cooled engine experience, we’ve observed that ignition module failures are often caused by defective coils that short circuit internally. Simply replacing the module without also replacing the coil can result in damage to the new module.
For optimal compatibility and performance, it’s recommended to use the Perma-Tune coil exclusively with the Perma-Tune module, avoiding mixing with other brands of ignition modules. Trust in Perma-Tune for reliable ignition solutions tailored to your VW’s needs.
