I have already installed the Petronix Ingnition and am going to put on the "Flamethrower" coil. They have a couple of different options being oil or expoxy filled. Which one should I use?

Thanks

I have the oil filled versions on 2 tractors. You need to make sure you get the one with the correct primary resistance. Too low and you'll let the smoke out of the module. I'm pretty sure the resistance for a 4cyl eng on 12V is going to be 3 ohms.

Either work well. I would go with the oil filled unit myself. Brian is right on with the ohm rating also. Get the 3.0 ohm rated coil for the four cylinder engine. We carry the oil filled 40K Blaster version in Black or Chrome.
