You guys with 'm' motors which distributor cap does yours have and what year is it? Thanks
Someone changed the distributor, using one from a 1976 or earlier car/truck.

The same V8 distributor cap is used on all 1977/79 Passenger Cars, F100/350's, Bronco's & Econolines, regardless of what size the engine is > >

E2ZZ12106A .. Distributor Cap (Motorcraft DH411). This cap is grey.

E2ZZ12A217A .. Base Adapter (Motorcraft DJ6) / Use w/E2ZZ12106A Dist Cap.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
D5AZ12106A .. Distributor Cap (Motorcraft DH354). This cap is blue.

Fits: All 1975/76 V8's.
----------------------
B7A12106A .. Distributor Cap (Motorcraft DH6). This cap is black.

Fits: All 1957/74 V8's.

D5AZ12106A can be used in place of B7A12106A and vice versa.

D5AZ12106A replaced B7AZ12106A, which was the (brown) HiPo dist. cap used from 1957 thru 1973.
