Last May in SB, a guy was selling Delco distributor caps for Stude V8. They were only $10 each, and were old school style with the brass/copper terminals. I had not even seen those in years, so happily bought two of them. Last night, I went to install one on the 62GT (with incorrect Delco), and to my surprise, there was no way to get the clips to fasten. So I tried the caps on a spare Delco distributor, on the bench. I discovered they are about .060" too large in diameter, so will not even think of seating that last 1/16" or so.
The seller had a bunch of them, but strangely, would only set one or two out at a time. Later he said they were all gone. So I guess I am not the only one who paid $10 for a paperweight.
I have thought of trying a dremmel, but do not believe they can be modified and remain reliable. Oh well.
