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.
