[Healeys] distributor off

[Chris Dimmock]

Brad,
Sounds like You have a 6 cyl austin sedan cap on your distributor.  
Where is the cutout notch for the coil wire connector located?? Sedan  
caps are 180 degrees out
The caps are identical, and can be used, they just fit on 180 degrees  
out, and the plug wires look wrong
As an aside, the sedan caps were used on the ultra rare Lucas 23d 6  
cyl (no vacuum advance) distributors used on works triple weber 6 cyl  
Healeys, as the non advance distributor body has the coil wire  
connector on the other side of the distributor body.
