distributor cap 352
I cannot find a distributor cap for my 66 352! All the ones I have looked at have the #1 plug wire to the right (3 holes over) as compared to the one on the engine now. Truck runs ok on the old one, just want to replace the old cap!
Any ideas? Has my distributor been change?

Well, one you could always get a generic since where #1 is really only matters to you. As for Motorcraft I have the same cap, DH-6, on my 289, 302, 360 and 410 as I believe the V8 caps were the same for a long time after 1965 in the small blocks and FE engines.

I must be missing something here, please help me out.
My thinking the cap has to fit the dist. have 9 wire ports, that's it no more.
You lift the old cap place the new one on and start moving the wires to the same location as they were in before.
All the caps that I have ever seen had no #1 so how did this come into play.

Thanks Mike, but should he follow my suggestion will his cap work like it is supposed to. I didn't know the cap cared where the wires were plugged in.

I don't think the FE ever received the "new" style cap with male terminals.

D5AZ12106A replaced B7AZ12106A (brown), the former hipo and H/D cap. B7A12106A is black.
Basically, D5AZ12106A will interchange with B7A12106A.
