Thanks for all of the orders, but these are only in the test and dyno phase. It'll take 90 days after final QC and approval until we can deliver.We wil be releasing the caps at the same time the distributors are ready. We have a vaccuum advance ready-to-run(no ignition box needed), and mechanical advance for B and RB's only for now. LA will be next year. However, our CD coils are ready for delivery.

The Magnum caps I have been buying are black, so I think if you sell the tan ones, that will help you find a market niche and I would use them on my street 440 car.

If you are making a special distributor it should have a special cap. therefore I vote for Plum Crazy Purple (not some pastel cheap looking purple, but a deep rich crazy purple - you know - like your car Rick!). Then there would be possible to immediately identify the car as using FireCore products. Be a leader not a follower!

These numbers were given to me to incude all manufacture variables. There are over a dozen manufactures making distributors for our big blocks. You obviously see them on Ebay, but like everything else, you get what you pay for. I will not name manufacture names. I can only tell you the specs on ours. I know what you are saying, and I am not here to smear other companies. On the average, you are looking at 1 degree of retard for every 1000 rpm over 4000 rpm for all ECU's I've tested. I have never seen one that didn't retard at least 2 degrees at 6500 rpm or more - over 4K. BTW, that's not necessarily a bad thing - and often a plus. Why do you think advance curves usually stop at around 2800 rpm? Fastest 300

It would be really nice to be able to check the rotor phasing with a timing light and a clear cap. If we move to HEI style female-end wires on the distributor cap side, and the caps are black, we would need two caps ... one with the hole in it to check rotor phasing and one for normal duty. A clear cap would solve the two cap dilemma. And I suppose you could see the carbon tracks as they build up on a clear cap. I'm on the fence ... what are the technical arguments? BTW - the Robb/MC adapter is gone ... I tried to order one and Robb canceled the order and told me to search on "firecore" .. nice guy that Robb! 5623477-IMGP0833.JPG (137 downloads) 1972 Pro-Street 'Cuda, 500" Eagle stoker B Block, Eddy RPM heads, Victor Manifold, 850 Mighty Demon, Hemi 4 Speed, Dana 60 w/4.88 gears - Built by Hansen Racing Middlesex - NJ
