The Firecore RTR distributor on my 470 works well so I wanted to get another for a 440 but I am not seeing them anywhere. Do they still make them? I haven't had great luck with MSD stuff but I see they make an RTR. How do they compare to the Firecore? I am 99.9% sure this summit brand dist is a firecore, says they have 10 in stock https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-850424/make/dodge

it's too bad RTR distributors of [it seems] any brand get bad feedback from some people. it's hard to [for me anyway] make a decision on what to buy. i have a fixed income [i'm not complaining about that] so i need to be absolutely sure my money goes to the right choice so i don't have problems in the future. with that being said, i also hear glowing reports [like above] about most brands of RTR distributors, so that confuses me even more to make a decision ! i'm confused enough on a good day, let alone a day "pulling the trigger" on parts i need.......

That Summit link looks more like a Pertronix unit - Large size and screw on type distributor cap
The nice thing about the Firecore distributors , size , they accept factory style type distributor caps
I run the vacuum advance , non rtr on my 383 HP
Anyways around a year ago I ordered a Firecore RTR from Summit under there brand - They sent me an email saying they have been discontinued
I don’t see them at Mancini also
I see the Firecore standard vacuum , and Firecore racing mechanical , non rtr
Picture of Firecore RTR

Called Firecore, was told that they are sold through Summit (rebranded) now and quality control is much better.
Thats what I thought LOL
