Thanks Geo,
 
Yeah if you drill down their website under TR3 ignition the exploded diagram 
shows the tab but the photo of the part does not.   Further raising doubt in my 
mind is the fact that my distributor cap has the wires out the top instead of 
the side like the diagram.  
 
Email into Moss as well.
 
Art.
