Since I decided to pass on the Mallory, I ordered an Accel Points Eliminator kit for my stock distributor. I've been reading that you can use a Duraspark cap on a points type distributor. Summit has three different Accel performance cap and rotor kits. One of them is held on with screws so I know that one's out but the other two are very similar. ACC-8224 and ACC-8233. Both are tan alkyd type with brass terminals and male posts. Can anyone tell me which one to get? Also, is the cap a two piece unit? If so, will the kit come with both pieces? If not, where do I get the bottom piece?

Thanks.

Well, I figured out which one to use but I still need to know if the kit has everything I need to install the cap and rotor.

FOr about 1/3 the cost you can get a Motorcraft cap adapter, rotor, and wide cap for your FoMoCo distributor.
The cap adapter has the clips for the new cap.
You existing distributor clips hold the adapter.

The accel set from summit is about $18. Is the motorcraft set a dealer item or can I pick it up in a parts store?

Thanks.
