Tom, this discussion of the Gary Boone EI distributor is circa 1999 from the=
 311s site:

=E2=80=9C The "late style" electronic distributor is one from a Datsun 210, 3=
10 or
pickup in the 1978 to 1982 range. The roadster distributor shaft will fit
into these distributors and only needs a small spacer and a longer screw to
make it work. These distributors are available in junkyards for very
reasonable prices. Conversion is relatively simple and mechanical advance
limit mechanisms can be found with advances similar to the roadster. It is
probably better to use a coil from one of the vehicles that the distributor
comes from. The ignition module is mounted on the side of the distributor.
The cap and rotor are a bit larger than the roadster one.=E2=80=9D

I=E2=80=99ve never needed to replace my GB EI cap, but I did recall B210, wh=
ich this appears to partially confirm.

Thanks for the info. Sure glad I asked about it. I had some faded idea 
that a 240 sedan was involved. Go figure. Must be an "old guy thing." 
Thanks again.
