The SVDA was intended to be the perfect match for a stock VW bug engine and it certainly works best, in my opinion (and that of so many others). The PERTRONIX FlameThrower SVDA has an electronic igniter module in it that perfectly replaces the old OEM (original) points/condenser assembly and in my experience with it, it performs flawlessly. The enclosed instructions are clear, concise and well illustrated, so no fumbling around getting it installed. Even a 'high-grade' chimpanzee could probably do it! 009 distributors are most at home in high-performance VW engines, Porsches and race modified cars. The Pertronix FlameThrower SVDA is the setup of choice for a stock or only slightly modified bug, intended for use on the streets and roads. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works like a champ! *by N***T on May 1, 2018* Installed this in my '74 VW Thing along with a Bosch blue coil. 5 minutes later she fired up for the 1st time in over 30 years!!! Instructions were good, with the exception of no info on where to connect the vacuum port on the dizzy. The port should be connected to the carb vacuum port pointing to the dizzy, just at or below the throats of the carb.I also found that there is a rubber buffer under the rotor cap, in my case the buffer was standing up sideways and not laying flat, whoever assembled it jammed the rotor on and damaged the notch in the rotor, but not enough to need a replacement. Laid the buffer flat and reinstalled the rotor, no problem.I had no problem with the o-ring, I lubed it with grease and the shaft went in just fine, others say to use the old o-ring but I did not need to.Comes with the correct electrical connectors which is very nice, you don't normally get them with other products. The wiring is also long enough to reach about 12", so you can cut to your needed length and then crimp the connectors on. I added a protective sleeve and some shrink tubing to protect the wires.Every VW dizzy with points should be replaced with a similar electronic unit. What a sight it was to see an engine that had been forgotten for 30 years come to life and run so well! ## Frequently Bought Together - PerTronix D186504 Flame-Thrower Plug and Play Electronic Ignition Distributor with Ignitor Technology, Compatible with VW Type 1 Engines, Vacuum Advance Cast - Pertronix 40511 Flame-Thrower Ignition Coil, 40,000 Volt 3 Ohm, 12 Volt, Black - Pertronix 704401 Flame-Thrower 7mm Spark Plug Wires Set, High Performance, Custom Fit, Compatible with VW, 4 Cylinder, Red --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/6692742-d186504-flame-thrower-plug-and-play-electronic-ignition-distributor-ignitor](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/6692742-d186504-flame-thrower-plug-and-play-electronic-ignition-distributor-ignitor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
