It will fit perfectly on the Healey Distributor Housing and you can use all the other stock parts (rotors, points, and condensers). I made the conversion to my ‘65 BJ8 and it runs better now than it ever has. The cap should be less than $30.00.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If memory serves me correct, the Lucas Part Number for the Distributor Cap I purchased is DDB 117, but I feel confident that there are several other brands out there to choose from.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The only other thing you will need to buy is a regular set of standard 6 cylinder plug wires with standard fittings on the distributor cap end.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I hope this info works as well for you as it did for me..<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Doug”””<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>And:-<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>(2) “””From: Agoura Jim [bjate@pacbell.net]<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sent: Monday, December 14, 1998 8:12 PM<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>To: Editorgary@aol.com<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Cc: STOCKLAND@aol.com; owner-healeys@autox.team.net; healeys@autox.team.net<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Subject: Distributor Cap<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Gary et al.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The ‘real’ distributor cap that accepts ‘modern’ ignition wires is the Triumph TR6 cap.
