Distributor cap question

[forkliftfixr]

Besides going to Ford and buying one, is there an aftermarket LOWER secton of the distributor cap (the bottom piece that is held on by 2 screws to the distributor that the cap itself locks on) I have spent at least 2 hours looking at Summit and Jeggs and cant find anything.

Find a local parts joint that carries Standard Motor Products or Standard Ignition or Blue Streak etc....Autozone might carry it....or type it into Summitracing....
Part Number is FD-166

Well...... when I called Advance Auto parts and the guy told me $22.95, thats why I said it was expensive. I got there this morning and had them look it up again for me and it is PN# FR138 (their part number) and it was only $8.85, thats a HECK of a lot better than $23.00 I was quoted over the phone.


**Their "list" price what a repair shop would charge a customer for it: $43.16**
