Re: Black D309 Dist. caps
GM Oshawa used to have the parts distribution facility in the north end of the car/truck assembly complex. When they ran short of parts, it was not uncommon for them to clean out the parts warehouse of a given part just to keep the line going. That could explain the oddballs thrown in here and there. I have a couple of black D309 caps number 1942654 and they are still in their orange, black and white boxes. There is no Delco-Remy lettering on the top of the caps. I think that these would have been typical over-the-counter pieces perhaps. I also have a black Delco cap with "Delco Remy Patent Pending R moulded into the top. It is brand new and came on an old King ignition tester that I bought a couple of years ago. I was told that it is correct for our '69s.
