Paul,
There are probably a lot of generic caps for other makes that will fit.
Someone is bound to post what's available. If not, I'll check this weekend.
Recently I was rummaging through some boxes of junk in the attic and came
across a new distributor cap and points package from 25 years ago. I was
surprised to see that the generic cap was not only for our roadsters, but
as I recall it was also for some Mazdas, Toyotas, and other makes. When I
find it, I'll post the info (not that it's correct but others can check!)
