MSD Distributor Cap

[custom101]

Hey, I have a 92 GS with a MSD 6AL installed. Now I followed Jeff's directions regarding the install. But the part I'm having trouble with is the drilling of the distributor cap and epoxying the connection. Because of the temperatures where I live, after 2-3 months the epoxy hardens and cracks. I've had to redo this 3 times already.

Now I know the more popular cars have an MSD cap specially made with the connection (Civic). But does anyone know if MSD makes a cap that we can adapt to our car. I searched for an MX-6 or Probe but couldn't find anything. If anyone knows of any other options or can give me suggestions I'd appreciate.

Thanks.

Just an idea - could you use the compound that they use to fill the engine mounts? You're just trying to hold it in place and keep moisture out - might be good enough for that?

I've always wondered if the klze distributer would work. It's got the external coil hook up. Anyone done it?

Not at all. There are tons of guys like me who don't have msd or any sort of ignition upgrade who have a klze disty cap laying around. Especially on probetalk. Lastly, very, very rarely should anyone have to replace their disty cap.

Edit: Yes the disty for the probe will fit our car since it is the same one.

Oh that's awesome!!! Thanks a lot. I searched probetalk too, surprised I didn't find it. Anyway, I just placed my order.

Thanks again!

so if the disty is the EXACT same do that means the wiring is also the same and we can use a msd set-up diagram from a probe..

i always tought they were different
