Our Firecore mech and our CD Coil. I can honestly say that the timing is rock-steady with the timing light. Took it to 6 grand, dead-nuts 35 degrees. Never moved. Can't wait to race it. I could spin the distributor 180 degrees if I wanted to. Those who are on the fence, you will not be disappointed. The MSD's are selling used for the same price a new FC Mechanical is selling for..

It is our Mechanical and MSD 6 box. Don at FBO advised me not to use the RTR because its basically a race engine with no vacuum..

so that dist is smaller then the msd dist? i have a compleat msd dist with a 6al box for my 440 but its hitting my valve covers(bad) i had to grinf the crap out of the cast alum covers the dist goes in the motor but i dont have any real rotation to set the timing and now i was looking for a differnt set of alum covers that would clear
soo this dist if it IS smaller did i understand that can use a msd box??
im not wanting to change all im ignition out just basicly either run a differnt set of covers or a smaller dist that will work with what i have

Thanks but I'll keep my MSD you dont have to take the whole distributor apart to change the advance. If you were starting from a clean sheet why would you copy Chrysler style advance, so much easier to just remove the cap.
