Hi guys

I'm looking for a right angled black distributor cap, and can't find anywhere that sell them. It's for my 009 distributor that has a compufire electronic ignition module.

Does such a cap exist for my distributor?

And where can I buy one?

Thanks

Tom

I've never seen them in black. Years ago you could get them in the brown color that Bosch caps came it. There's a ad in the classified for clear ones... junk in my opinion.

The browny red colour would be fine, I'll have to have a more in depth search Mad

I'm not very keen on the clear ones, look tacky, I've seen much neater too Confused

Yes, i saw a post not too long ago with a website that sells them. Your best bet is to do a search, you're bound to find the thread.

I found this site selling them, I've sent them an e-mail asking the price of the cap on it's own as I don't want the whole pack.
