Dist Cap ID ????

daveg I see your car is an early 1969 with a spark plug wire date of 3Q68. It is very possible that the distributor cap without the "R" is correct for your car. A lot of early 1969 cars had the "Patent Pending" non-R cap until the factory ran out of them.

Thanks for the reply.
The plug wires are not the ones that were with car.
Wires with car were replaced along with the Echlin points- condenser and 'E" rotor.

We got records with car but nothing about these items.
Hoses - clamps were changed also.
4/68 and 1/69 clamps have been a challenge.

We are trying to bring it back as far as possible.

I would think the cap is the factory one by date and condition, but some say nay.

Keeping everything that came with car just in case.
