Spark Some Power!

Performance Distributors’ new Pentastar S.O.S. coils (Part #DUI-45550) are dying to spark up your engine. With enhanced coil windings, more voltage output than stock ignitions, and capabilities for quicker starting and smoother idling, you’ll be hitting the roads like never before.

The new technology in these coils allow you to open up your plug gaps to .065 inch, burning your fuel more completely leading to more power and performance. The extra voltage under load, also known as the acceleration phase, increases spark intensity for a more complete burn of the fuel mixture.

It’s compatible with flash devices and programmers. And its superior thermal epoxy leads to improved heat transfer and vibration resistance.

Whether you drive a Cherokee, Wrangler, Ram or even a Caravan, you can enjoy the additional performance provided by a set of S.O.S. Coils. You can install a set easily in approximately 1.5 hours with everyday tools.

Steering Done Right

Building a steering system for trucks can be frustrating due to space restraints and things like firewalls, headers and frame rails. This Flaming River VDOG gear-driven box has 3/4-36 splined output shafts that sit 90 degrees, providing maximum clearance in spaces where more traditional U-joint angles won’t work. The output shaft to your steering box or rack-and-pinion rides in an articulating ball—you can set the shaft at any angle up to 35 degrees to clear whatever’s in the way.

The Flaming River VDOG steering box can be mounted vertically or horizontally and is set at a 1:1 ratio so it won’t affect your steering ratio. It’s available in aluminum with a natural finish or any of Flaming River’s powdercoat finishes. You can also get a VDOG in billet aluminum.
