What model do you have? Do either of these work?
MSD Extra Duty Distributor Caps 84313 - SummitRacing.com
MSD Extra Duty Distributor Caps 84333 - SummitRacing.com (EDIT: from what FatBoy posted, it looks like this cap will fit fine)
I'd keep your red one for a spare in the car so when the distributor cap button fails you can change the cap and keep going. Lots of threads on this problem. 
Now if you don't want that problem and really want to go original, you can go to an old skool FoMoCo distributor.

Only a moron would paint their distributor cap. But, if you read through this thread, A Better Looking MSD Distributor Cap you'll find references to exactly what you're looking for. |

Kevin, Doug and Patrick: thank you for your quick replies.
Patrick, I found your reference thread extremely helpful. After I read all of it, and laughed my a%$ off, I ordered the cap from the local AutoZone (will get here tomorrow).
BTW That was so easy! Did you ever think about asking your peers first? (I'm so sorry, I know we haven't officially met, but could not fight the urge  )
I am SOOO thankful for guys like you (resourceful), that can do the trial and error for guys like me (clueless).
May I throw another two at you guys?
1- Has anyone sprayed Rhino Lining (or the equivalent) on the wheel wells of his car (to reduce noise and damage)?
2- Does anyone know what kind of screws can be used for fastening the SAI CSX number plaque to the dashboard/transmission tunnel?
(Now, I am not completely sold on using the plaque in my car, but if i do, I want to be ready)
I have tons of questions, but i will proceed slowly

Hi Hector,
I'm still a month out from getting my car in kit form, but I can tell you that I've read all the available threads on undercoating on this forum as well as several others (including Google searches). The more you read on the subject, the more opinions you'll collect so in the end you'll just have to decide what sounds best for you and go with it. Not only are there opinions on different brands, but opinions on truck liner vs. rubberized undercoating. I eventually corresponded privately with a poster who used 3m undercoating and, after 5 years, told me it still looks new, so that's what I'm planning.
As for your question about mounting the plaque, have you considered rivets?
Regards,
Kevin

1 - Your wheel wells should be lined with aluminum, right? They protect the underside of the wheel wells and you shouldn't need Rhino lining. HOWEVER, if you haven't already put the clear adhesive spats on the outside of the wheel wells in the area near the door opening to protect against stones thrown by the front wheels, now is a good time. You can't really do it when the paint is no longer smooth (wish I had known that).
2 - I used two sided trim adhesive to stick my plaque to the dash so I could remove it if I wanted to without putting holes in the dash. I filled the holes with rivets that don't extend deeper than the plaque so it looks attached. If you want to screw it to the dash or tranny tunnel, small sheet metal screws will work fine.

No, Hector. Fortunately, I am blessed to already know the answer to every question, on every subject, under the sun. There is never a need for me to ask first. Especially on really simple questions, like this one. |

OK - Since I already know the meaning of life... can you answer these for me please?
How come packages via car are called "ship-ments" and packages on a ship are called "car-go"?
How come you drive through a "park-way" and can only park in a "drive-way"?

For the same reason your feet smell, and your nose runs. |

okay, Siri (Patrick), tell me this: my wife wants to drive my car, but she's having trouble reaching for the pedals, especially the clutch. How do I fix that? Is there a different length track available?
Let me challenge you further: what are the paint codes for Shelby's Rosso F1 red, Wimbledon white, and Navy blue? I already have some scratches on the paint and will need to touch them up.
Cheers!

I need help with this question.....
Why do hotdogs come in packages of ten but hotdog buns come in packages of eight?
3 pages on distributor caps? I knew Patrick had to be involved somehow. Maybe he found an iPad app for choosing distributor caps. |

20% of the population prefers to eat their hotdogs sans bun. |

Sorry, wrong answer. You must open your mind more to new approaches. |
