We're low tech here! I'd rework your current one. 15 initial/weld/file (shorten) the slots to get 35 total (checked with can capped) then mix/match springs. I know getting the center clip out is a pain but it's doable when you get the hang of it. While you are at you might as well see what YOUR eng wants for initial with the "vac gauge method" as it's easy to do and non invasive to find. You do not have to go with your findings but you will have that info at your disposal

Tx RR...just getting the bugs out of a new build i'm running an old stock dizzy right now and 14 initial works good but the total is too high. I have welded and recurved these before..just wondering what the verdict is on the new Firecore....sealed ball bearings,adjustable mech. advance and priced reasonable but no first hand replies yet.
The Firecore billet distributors are excellent. I've sold dozens of them and helped friends set them up. Mechanical advance is easy to dial in using adjustable stops. Multiple curve combinations with the spring kit. Rock steady timing that is dead nuts accurate. What's not to like ?

The Firecore distributors come with 20-22* mechanical and a pair of medium weight springs which brings the total in at 2800 rpm. Of course you can mix & match between light/medium/heavy to custom tailor the speed of the advance curve to whatever you want or need.
I'm located in Eastern Ontario in a small town along the St. Lawrence River.

Yes Mike, the vac canister use a 3/32 allen head wrench to adjust the vacuum advance. Mechanical advance is adjusted internally using a Phillips head screwdriver.
Basicly, there are two advance mechanisms that are in play ; mechanical and vacuum
