45D Side entry distributor cap for a Sprint.

#1 Post by dursley92 »

I am going to try using a modified Spitfire 45D distributor in my new Sprint engine so I can run a fully programmable ignition system. Bit of fiddling with the drive gear and clamp etc but a number of folks have done it and say it works.
Question is, what type of side entry distributor cap is best and then which HT leads to go with it?
