MSD makes a nice black cap...... but I don't believe it fits the 8594.  |

Doesn't this fit?

Looks like it would and I found it referenced in an MSD installation PDF for your part number distributor for Ford FEs....

I guess it wasn't very clear what I was getting at. I think that they may be interchangable. The FE distributor literature that I gave the link for lists the right cap as 8433. But if you read the MSD instructions, it tells you that 8433 will fit all GM applications and the instructions are the same for both 8433 and 84333.
"The PN 8433 Cap fits all of the MSD Distributors that use the GM Socket style cap (MSD PN 8437). It will also fit GM Distributors that use a “window” style cap."
http://www.msdignition.com/product.a...95&terms=84333 (even this link shows "84333" although it mostly focuses on "8433")
I would call/email MSD tech support and ask whether the caps are interchangeable as it appears they are.

Yeah, I think it probably will fit. BUT... I already have a new MSD cap on my engine and a never-been-opened MSD cap in my trunk. SO... I'm going to be bold and innovative and go the paint route.  Of course, I'll take pics....  |

You can exchange the one you have for a nice, understated, correct, black one.
EDIT: Or sell it to someone on this forum when their button blows up. That shouldn't be a very long wait.

Be sure to buff the cap AND your nails first. |

I'll be sure to buff the nail on my middle finger... and then, of course, display it prominently. |
