1963 Non-FI Distributor Cap Repro vs Original

[Frederick H.]

I have what I believe is a repro as it has two dimples in the window and I think the originals only had one. The top reads Patent Pending with no R. Any thoughts on other differences?

Thanks,
Fred

Thanks Danny. Others can chime in but i thought the towers on the D-310 for the fuelie were shorter.

Hi Fred. I checked a spare and I believe it has the taller towers. I also circled a raised area in yellow that appears on originals. You will have to enlarge the picture a bit to see it.
