Ready to run distributor - 08/29/21 02:27 AM

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?

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....... biggrin

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

I would say to call Rick Gorski and get the scoop from the head honcho.

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