This may just be some employee swaparoo (switching a $$$$$Lucas unit into a
$Moprod box before buying same), but the cap in the Lucas box was exactly
the same as the cap in the generic box. I ordered both at the same time just
to find this out (or was that was to make sure I got one). Most likely,
Lucas has stopped making them and is subbing them out. How many separate
companies can make a profit manufacturing distributor caps for 6 cylinder
TR's?
