A favourite for specials where room is at a premium and easy access is required for 45D type distributors only--uses GRA2128 rotor arm and obviously discard screws from cap and use existing distributor clips to secure.

some caps and distributor bodies have slightly different machined finishes but they will fit although a bit tight--we suggest checking the distributor ridge where the cap sits for any high spots or alternatively check the cap where it sit on the body.
