The  tall distributor cap usually doesn't match the rotor - you  may have a
big gap vertically for the spark to jump, which isn't  good.  Also, the
engine cover will rub on the leads where they come  out of the cap.  I don't
know which distributor you have, but I'm sure  you will need the short top
for clearance anyway.  Definitely check  the rotor height compared with the
cap - it should then run a lot  better!




Dave, it's a short cap, 64 "S" only distributor. Russ had gone thru it  
before installing it on the engine. He also included the correct cap (as it's  
very hard to get), and told me I just needed a FI rotor that fits the short 
cap.  I was just trying to find out if this one would work for my 
application, as it's  still new.
