Wanted: Cap for Holley Billet Distributor

i have the same dist and will need a cap soon, if memory serves me correct its the same as a AMC 8 cyl screw down cap with hei terminals. For some reason im thinkin early 80's jeeps with the 8 cylinders but i cant remember for sure. Theyve been discontinued by Holley years ago, i had one new cap but lost it.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions about distributor caps that might fit but we were not able to find a cap that matches the Holley distributor.

Thanks to some very cooperative parts men at a local auto parts store we were able to view and compare a couple of dozen caps for AMC, Ford, Mopar, etc. distributors. They even ordered about a dozen Mallory caps from their warehouse distributor to check against. None matched.

The Mallory 208M cap was VERY close to the right size. But since we aren't playing horseshoes, close doesn't count.

Looks like it's time to buy a new distributor - and a lifetime supply of caps and rotors.
