I removed the distributor cap on my Dave T Mallory distributor for no good reason. In the course of removing it or fighting to get it clipped on with a couple of arthritic fingers I busted the electrode to the rotor. Normally, I would say a couple of cuss words and go in the garage, grab the one I removed last time I 'tuned up' and be on my way until I got a replacement.
With no extra distributor cap on the shelf and none readily available locally I realized that ordering up a couple of extras made sense. I busted it Saturday afternoon and the Summit order came today so it was 4 days I had to wait to see if my trans shifted properly after the valve body switch.
So, if you're running a specialty distributor get the extra cap and rotor just in case because the local guys don't always stock the Mallory stuff. I bought an extra pick up module before I even installed it but didn't think about the cap and rotor at the time.
