Distributor Cap Question.

Post by RacerX »

Does anyone know what car the 7 plug distributor cap came on for the external coil ? It has a more uniform look than the HEI hack power tower.

Babybluemx3 has his but doesn't know what car it came off. I'd love to switch over but have no idea where to start lol.

Below is a pic of what I mean if you don't know.

On the HEI mod am I supposed to remove the bracket that held the stock coil in place or does it have no effect at all ?

I've never seen a ZE that didn't have the 7 plug disty cap. The problem is most of the time the caps get broken during shipment.

I think I have 7 or 8 ZE disty caps on extra ZE distys, but none of the caps are any good.

If you're pressing for information on new caps, you're SOL unless you fly to Japan. You can't get them anywhere else.

I had 1 of the 7+ caps survive on all the ZE swaps the guys here in memphis have done.. and it was no good :( the band had no continuity to the coil wire connector. :(
