Re: Distributor Cap ??
Ford caps use to be BLUE, before they went to gray.

Re: Distributor Cap ??
Rev,
You're dating yourself here. I'm pretty sure the "Blue Streak" brand is still around.

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.
