Distributor Cap ??
 

Here is a stupid question.....sort of....

Im looking for a blue Distributor Cap.....who makes them? I was at a show today and a few cars had them. I know MSD makes the read one but the blue matches my motorsport wires :)

Ford caps use to be BLUE, before they went to gray.

Jeez, I haven't heard of Blue Streak ignition products in 40-50+ years. Are they still around? We used to use Blue Streak truck coils along with Mallory dual point distributors in our hopped up flat head Fords back in the mid-fifty's. Also used their breaker points in that same era. They were quality products then. I had forgotten all about them until now.

Rev,

You're dating yourself here. I'm pretty sure the "Blue Streak" brand is still around.

Re: Distributor Cap ??
 

Wow Rev! Talk about dating yourself like Gearhead said! LOL You used to play with flatheads? WOW! Although pretty awesome, I haven't seen an actual running flathead in years.

Anyways, back to the blue cap. Most Autozone's have 3 "levels" of quality. High end on ditzy caps is Conrad, which are red. Middle level is Motorcraft which is gonna be gray. Low end, is "Valuecraft" which I THINK are now gray, but they were still blue about 6 months ago.

Maybe give a couple places a call, have them yank it off the shelf and take a peek at it.
