Hello everyone,

I've seen 383 distributor cap came in two different shades of brown. Which was earlier and which was later?

Thanks

Bosch was not the only company to make them. Bremi, Dowal and others did. I've seen them brown and black.

I've seen dozens of OG Bosch caps, all seemed to be the same brown. same brown that was used on the later 36hp caps.
