Distributor cap

[Rick]

I am using a NOS Ford (not MSD) distributor with (Female Towers) and a cable driven distributor. I am attempting to find a high quality BLACK cap with brass contacts and with the circular ridges near the contacts that prevents electrical flashover between the poles. Anybody know a specific brand?

Several of the Ford and Mustang parts vendors have them available. They are not a name brand and are offshore imports, but are pretty good caps. They have the brass contacts and the body is decent composition material. In the late 1990's I paid about $2.00 wholesale per cap in dozen lot quantities. These were replacements for the Ford B7A-12106-A cap used on most all V8s 1957 and up until electronic ignition and the Motorcraft "Blue" or "Gray" caps became standard.

I will check with some of my prvious suppliers and see what he price and availability is now.
