Anyone have a good used distributor cap?
I had removed the coil lead off of the distributor cap on the 82 the other day to prime the engine and the post broke off. I was able to pull the post out of the wire boot and snug it back down in the cap. Car started fine, but has a slight miss that may be attributed to resistance as a result of this.
So if anyone out there has a used cap 1978-1984 that is NOT toasted, please contact me. I would be willing to pay $20.00 for it.
Thank you!

Keith,
try www.drivewire.com.
I just purchased to dist. caps and two rotors from them.
Brand new Bosch caps are ~$40.00.
They have free shipping on orders over $50.00 if you need anything else.
Good luck Rich

Volvos use the same distributor cap. Just without the black plastic.

Edit...aw crap...it's for an old bugger. Others may benefit if you have the info, though.

I have some in my basement (I've got a growing inventory of distributors, somehow), but I need to check their condition. I'll try to look for this thread when I get home tonight after a night meeting.

Seems to be a little cylinder-discrepancy going on .

Yeah. Duly noted.
I meant between the 8-terminal cap that the original poster is seeking, and the options being cited.

Four distributors and only one cap...
I think you're better off dropping hte extra couple bucks for a new one. It'll work, but has some pitting of the contacts inside and just doesn't look to purty.
