Motorcraft Distributor Cap
Hi,
I've been told that no-one makes a 90* angle distributor cap for the Motorcraft Dizzy on the 1300... Is this true?? If not, where can I find
one??
Cheers,
Stu
PS. I've got a smaller diameter 90* cap for sale for the other type if anyone needs one..?

If it's for a crossflow then I believe the 90 deg angled cap for a Fiat Strada fits, and is available.

whilst I hate to disagree, I am not aware of there being one. There is one for the Bosch that I sustpect the other folks would be referring too - why
would Fiat use a Ford dizzy? but they would use a generic brand such ass a Bosch.
Are you having problem getting the leads in under a twin carb manifold with the 1300?
It can be done but is a tight sequeeze - the motorcraft dizzy is not as tall as the Bosch so fitting the Bosch + rt angled cap won't solve
it.
Remove the rubber cups from the leads and it goes in; it may need a bit of liling off the manifold rib to gain a bit of space - you can get tiny cups
like what I have.

Was just about to post exactly what O2GF74 said! The Motorcraft SHOULD fit under the manifold, the Bosch - no chance, it only just fits under a 1600
standard manifold.

Must vary with manifolds then, 'cos mine certainly doesn't
