HELP! Distributor Cap Issues W/Pictures.

I bought this dizzy from Reincarnation because I had Scott set it up to match my cam profile for my 429 with a 460 crank. It has been modded with the Duraspark setup. I need to get a cap and rotor that fits a whole lot better. The cap I bought is on the dizzy and is an Accel which fits too loose. Is there a better set up for this dizzy? Please let me know. The dizzy number is C8VF-12131-B which is 1969-70.

It looks like your standard DSI dizzy cap, not sure why it would be "loose".

Try a cap from your local parts store, less than 10 bucks.

I picked this one up at the local O'reillys. I have seen a two piece cap for these Durasparks is that an option with this one?

Also, why can I not post photos from photobucket anymore? It wants to take you to the link. I used to just post the photo and it would show up under the wording.

You have to use the Img tag.




That looks like an early model dizzy. I don't think the 2 piece base and cap will work.

The 2pc. DSII cap will fit, but requires a different rotor, plug wires and coil.

To the right of the photobucket screen there is a box that states "links to share this photo"

Click the tag on the right of the label "IMG" and paste into your post.



Yup... it worked again! Amaze your friends.
