The Distributor that I Always Wanted!

- While working on a friend's Plymouth Fury 3, I discovered a superb upgrade to the stock Mopar distributor. This unit from Firecore performance is the best upgraded aftermarket distributor for an old mopar. It's also a great option upgrade your old points distributor to electronic ignition.

We also have a taller mechanical version, that plugs directly into the MSD box. Also, we have a conversion pigtail, that converts the Mopar plug end, to the MSD pigtail. Also, we will be sending MOPAR Joe a conversion cap. We are the only manufacturer making a male terminal cap, for the Mopar Electronic Ignition Distributor. Looking forward to reading reviews, and Mopar Joes excellent tips and Mopar knowledge on his channel!!
I appreciate that! I have the best viewers on RUclips. I’m looking forward to tuning the big block fury and the ramcharger with the units I have. The best part will be the 440 build I have coming up with trick flow 240’s and the firecore distributor, on the dyno!
@@JustMoparJoe Thank you. Looking forward as well.. Rick @ Firecore Performance. no spaces...lol
@@sunroofgtx fixed 👍🏼
Very impressive and priced right!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Tim. The inner magnetic pickup is easy plug and play, to carry a spare. 👍🏼
@@JustMoparJoe 👍👍
My older Mopar Performance distributer has the same kind of adjustment using those exact same red ‘keys’. The numbers on those red keys are the degrees of advance your dialing in. The MP units were made by Mallory but they changed to a different design years ago. Good to know that it’s available again thru FireCore!!
Excellent! Thank you for sharing
You are correct!! I had one on my 440. Very easy to adjust.
I have an MSD dizzy on my 360. Also easy to adjust mechanical advance with different colored spacers.
I hope these work out good. Seemed like a good bang for the buck! Also they have a slimmer profile to hopefully fit with aftermarket heads and valve covers.
Absolutely! I will update
Awesome👍
Thanks John!
Very nice, good technology.
Quality distributor.
Thanks for sharing Joe.
Thank you! I’m excited to get to tune with it.
Ok, I'm convinced, thanx Joe
Thanks brother
Bought my system(Firecore dist.,coil,resister,wires) and the REV-N-NATOR box from the R/T GARAGE for my 71 383 Roadrunner.Nice stuff😎😎😎
Excellent! I didn’t know they were making Rev-n-ator again. I’m excited to tune into this one.
Great review Joe. I put a RB one on my shopping list.
Awesome!
Looks like a quality piece, I like simple things that work
You and me both!
That's a nice product. I'll keep them in mind for my next engine.
Excellent! Really good customer support as well
That's pretty dang slick!!! Good stuff man!!
Thanks brother. Good for the right application 👍🏼
Saved video for future application! Thanks
Thanks brother!
Cheap parts store distributors have burned me more than once; you can't help but Dr. them just to work decently if at all. This FireCore distributor looks like a really good quality piece😁👏👏👏! Thanks brother 🍻
Thanks Ryan!
Nice! I'm going to have to check these out! Thanks for another great video Joe! 🏁🏁
Thanks Tony! Have a good 4th
great video, Im installing this distributor in my 66 Belvedere equipped with a 1970 motor, performance distributor with a factory appearance. 10% Mopar Joe
Thanks brother!
I'll check that out! Bought one of those Proform 66991 kits a while back, its made in Taiwan! Was for my 68 D200 but I stuck just the distributor into the 81 W250 with the new 273. Was actually checking the total timing and how fast it comes in today, its plenty good enough for that truck. I'll need another distributor for the 68 when it goes together and don't want imported stuff. But I am cheap and might recurve an old Chrysler one. 😂
I know the struggle! These are under $200 to your door with the coupon code. I closed cap and rotor. 💪🏻
Hi Joe, I just 440 swapped my D100 and the distributor that came with the motor is a Jegs 40506 billit and it's the same distributor. Still trying too figure the bugs out with timing and curve but so far impressed
Thanks Steve. I do believe firecore sells them as well.
Progressive Ignition distrubutor is superior all u do via bluetooth adjust timing while u drive or park in real time. I think u would love the data logging.
Setting a timing table is an old idea. I can do the same thing with my digital MSD box on my challenger, except that engine uses the crank and cam sensors to monitor the timing. I’ve got a digital box to go on my purple car as well. In that case, you lock the distributor and let the ecu control where the timing goes. I like the adjustment, but as they say, “with great power comes great responsibility.” Many people don’t know enough about ignition timing to adjust their curves like that. This distributor is the quick and easy solution to the old worn out stuff. And gives you quick reliability. I know people who have old Mopar’s and use a flip phone! I think they like simple and effective. I will definitely try the progressive someday and get some videos about it.
I love the idea, definitely gonna look into it! Great video Joe!
Thanks Ron!
Sounds like the Fire Core Distributor could be a great choice Mopar Joe! Run that with the FBO Ignition Box ☑️.😊
Got it 👍🏼
I like how the distributor uses a lot of mopar factory styled parts ... cap , rotor , pickup , vac can ...
It definitely helps with do ding replacement parts, and the pickup is a stronger magnet than stock. I will try to get the install video on this one, this week.
Man that would be so convenient 😃🤣
Yes sir! Thought you’d dig it. firecoreperformance.com/parts/distributors/ford-dist/
Looks like a nice piece...i like the roller bearings...and the ajustement "keys" thats a cool idea
I think so too! Thanks brother
Cool, would like to see how well it works.
I will update! Thanks brother
Looks pretty cool!
Thanks brother!
Been waiting on this one
Thanks Randy
I am all for anything that makes life easier.
Absolutely! And one that will last
Nice
Thanks brother
Looks like a nice piece. Definitely want to try one down the road. Perhaps on the Free 83!
Thanks Brother!
So slap me if I’m going in wrong direction. I bought a progression ignition distributor . My plan is not necessarily to leave it in the car, but to use it to find the best settings on my phone. Initial timing, mechanical, all in and vacume can all be tweaked from the drivers seat. Once I find the sweet spot, I can recurve my distributor to match. Kinda like a distributor machine only cheaper.
I like that idea. I would bet it’s fun to play with 👍🏼
@@JustMoparJoe I really starting to like these. Now the test of time has been met with great results. You should look into them. Maybe they will send you one to toy with and do a video!! 👍
@@Coronetguy I have played with a similar setup using the msd box on my hemi swap. You can set timing all across the Rpm range. It gives you a plot to make your changes on, but you’ve gotta have your computer all the time
@@JustMoparJoe yep, and that’s just it, with this, an app and your cell phone, your in full control. I know it goes against all purist Mopar folks, but damn it’s an awesome product. Tall John would crap I’m sure! 😂
That is slick!
Fun to play with!
Im old and own a welder and wouldn't wasnt my money. Good for a person that hasn't done this for 40 years i guess.
I had to take a look back at every comment you’ve ever left me. None of them show any kind of support for what I’m doing. EVERY one of your comments has been contrary to any decision I’ve made, then ended with a put down. Look at the above comment. “Good for a person that hasn’t done this 40 years, I guess.” The old distributor I held up was locked out by my dad. It worked fine. But his limited mindset wouldn’t allow him to have nice things that last. I own two welders. I own and sell FBO plates. I don’t have the time to dig out an old junk distributor, clean it up, replace the magnetic pickup, trust that the old bushings are good, install a plate or weld it, put it in the car and realize that it’s too high of an initial advance and the starter drags. Then have to pull it back out, file the “welded” slots, then reinstall everything. There’s 6+ hours of work that I could have been making money instead of trying to use old junk. It’s not fair to my customer to charge him for all the hours. Don’t waste your money, but I’m not wasting anyone else’s.
Put a video of how you do it on your channel. We know how it’s done; we just want to see if you can handle commenters like yourself.
I like it
It’s a nice one! I bought one for the ramcharger
Nice and it will fit and have clearance for TrickFlo and Indy etc heads. Simple! Nice post JoePar.
Thanks brother!
Limitless!!
🎯
I think I was checking these guys out a few years back but had passed them up because nobody I knew had used their products. Iirc these have a billet housing and such, they definitely went the extra mile. These dizzys are just superior engineering to our factory ones, sorry Ma. If I can ever get some cash put together Im thinking about having a go at that Firecore unit. All I know for certain is the next distributor, and/or parts, I buy WILL NEVER be another refurbished/reman job from a parts store. They are complete junk knockoffs from dorman aka china.
Every single old mopar I have ever had has had that factory vac advance module yoinked and swapped for a tunable one. Just a 1/16" or 3/32" allen wrench into the hose nipple, turn left or right until happy. I even made a cheap "testing tool" for bench (or in car) tuning using some vacuum hose and a 100cc irrigation syringe from a vet.
Thanks for sharing! I agree with you on the new ones. This looks to be a good one!
Those remind me of the old Mallory dual point when you want her to Saturday total number of degrees do you have a red key with a number stamped on each end
Excellent point
Thinking I'm not gonna take out my old mopar unit
All good. If it fails, here’s where I would go!
That is awesome Joe !! I love it and will buy one for my stroker small block build !! Thank you for sharing and explaining. Are they reasonably priced ??
Yes sir! Around $200 to your door, if you call and mention my channel. That’s over $100 less than an msd. He did say they offer a plug in to convert to an msd harness if you run any msd boxes.
@@JustMoparJoe that’s is a great deal. I have a Pertronix flame thrower 3 right now with built in rev limiter. Had it in my first 3 and recurved it and it worked awesome I that motor . Will try it first n if not happy will got to this distributor next. Or just buy it n see which I like best ?? Thank you Joe.
Cool ! Wonder if they have a adjustable mechanical advance distributer. Not a big fan of vacuum advance .😂
So this one has an adjustable mechanical advance. I was able to show in the video how you can open or close the gap, which allows 24 degrees down to 0 degrees. The vacuum advance is there if you want it .
@@JustMoparJoe Ok it has enough travel to leave vacuum un hooked. 🤔👍 I wondered if they had without any vacuum pod at all.
I just spent 45 minutes put 1 dipstick tube bell bolt in a Volarie.😵🤯
Hello, yes we do have a mechanical only distributor.. Great piece.. Thanks Joe!!
Looks like a great product, I wonder if parts store caps will fit if you need a replacement.
Yup! They are supposed to use all factory compatible caps! When I was checking them out that was one of the key features that caught my eye.
@cjm5002 that is great, really haven't researched them. Thanks for helping out.
Yes sir. It’s nice to have the factory style cap and rotor. The magnetic pickup can unplug inside the distributor without pulling the unit.
Cool, that sounds like a win win product.
from top fuel to stock builds firecore50 is out there for you.
Absolutely!
And the next video in line will be a guy saying don't lock your disturber out even if you race it, who is right I give up Joe, HEI conversion your thoughts is that the best alternative
I’m glad to say that I’m gaining more experience with each of them. My 400 was on the dyno with the DUI distributor that had coil and hei module made in. It worked great. It was a massive unit that most mopar guys would hate. The FireCore is a nice drop in that could replace the current distributor in your mopar. It uses a magnetic pickup similar to an msd. Both units would require a good ecu to power them. The hei may be the least expensive choice but takes some external wiring and kills the originality when you open the hood. I’d say choose what’s best for your price point. Some guys would jump straight to an msd and plug it all and go. This distributor company makes an easy adapter to convert the mopar plug to the msd harness. My race car is locked out, with a feature in the ecu that pulls 10 degrees for the start up.
I'm sure it beats tunning with a laptop .
I’ve been hearing mixed reviews on the Bluetooth distributors as well
@@JustMoparJoe the more mechanical the better ; dammed cell phones !
Why are elec dist better than the old 2 point dist with msd boxes thanks Joe
The magnetic pickup is less finicky and will outlast most points. The msd is a fine option to use with this distributor. Modern point’s replacements are being offered with less quality
I bought mine 2 weeks ago. I’m still not sure which spring set to use. Are you going with the 2 blue?
This one is going in a completely stock 67 440. I’ll probably try the blues and see how it goes 💪🏻
Yeah I wasn’t a number on each and it was like a step and I don’t remember how many degrees each step was
Easy to adjust, I’d definitely check it with a timing light to verify
Might just have to call that number and us #code Jopar Moe
Yea buddy! Thanks Blaker
Looks like a nice outfit!👍
I’m liking it! Thanks brother
Domestic product?
Sold domestically, made overseas.
J-M-J Your discount code on this distributor does not work; any idea if its spell differently?
You have to call them directly and mention the video. It lets them know that people are seeing the video.
@@JustMoparJoe Thanks, will do. Keep up the good work, love your channel.
@@januaryonenineteenseventy4195 thank you! Send me an email if you have issues and I’ll call! Lol👍🏼
Isn’t this the same as the JEGS one? Same adjustment, billet body etc. what’s the difference?
This is made by the company. They’re a well known high performance company that are known for their spark plug wires. I can’t validate if Jegs sources from them.
I just purchased the 40506 jegs rb distributor in a motor deal I got. By looks it's exactly the same. Internals and even the red degree keys
Thanks JMJ ; Called Rick @ Firecore and ordered 1x RB dizzy & 1 x LA Dizzy. He was more than happy to apply your discount code which only works when you call him, which I did. Thanks for the tutorial and the discount. Very much appreciated! 👍💪🚗
Awesome! Great bunch of people to work with!
Will it play nice with an msd 6 al box?
Absolutely! They make a pig tail to convert it to the msd harness!
🔥👍🏻🇦🇺💯⛽️💥💥💥💥💥
It’s a cool unit!
$5 ? No way. $10 going to Trump. I cannot support this group of crooks.
I don’t remember what the $5 reference was, but MAGA 24’
Well, if you think that Crap-tastic distributor is cool ck out Progression ignition...spoiler....you tune it with your smart phone! Get to the 21st century
I was waiting on someone to bring up the smart phone distributors. But if you’re doing that, why not use a programmable ignition box and laptop for tuning? What’s the failure rate of Bluetooth stuff? How hard is it to find replacement parts, while on the road? This is bridging the gap between reusing an old stock unit and using a crank trigger.
@@JustMoparJoe well imo, Daytona sensors CDI ignition is the best, but somewhat complex for the average guy.
I don't see them as any more or less reliable that say a Sniper or Fitech set up.
I have one for my 528 hemi, but my engine isn't finished yet..so time will tell
@@duanedahl8856 I enjoy learning from other’s successes and failures. Let me know how it turns out.
We have a friend running a Progression distributor. He likes it, but I'm really digging this Fire Core setup.
So how is your Progression distributor running out for you? Reliability? I was running and old Jacobs Ignition and HEI in my BBC and the ig box crapped out. I either have to replace it or considering the Progression HEI, but they run $500.
