Hey guys, since no one is making these, wondering if there is a run made, if they would be popular. Brass terminal, ultra heavy duty compression molded, with voltage blocks inside..

I go out of my way to find the non vented caps. So, yes I think there would be a demand for them.

I get the tan color, non-vented, and brass inserts, but what makes a cap dual point?

It has the sprung, graphite contact for the coil contact. The Chrysler Electronics just have a button. These are a lot heavier and have the voltage blockers molded in the inside of the cap..

I have a new tan non vented cap. I will have to check and see if it a dual point cap or not.

Also different is the notch where it mounts over the distributor body and indexes the cap.

Is that for a single point? Does anyone know the part number (NAPA) for a tan single point cap with brass internals, no vent?

Considering the last 3 NOS caps I had recently sold in the $175-$225 range, and the avg asking price is $250, and most guys running "correct OEM restos" are usually running a well worn cap (inside) because of the scarcity and price associated with purchasing a "new" cap, or putting on an old "bad" cap just for shows/judging, I'd say it would be a welcome repro, if the price was within reason, quality materials and construction, as well as correct details were maintained, I'd think you have a profitable mover in sales, be nice if you considered reproing all the TAN cap applications...hmmmm

That's what I saw also.

I don't know if you can get a NON vented tan cap with brass inserts for a single point application. Anyone know?

Dual point is a Prestolite unit and it uses a different cap than the single point/electronic dist.

I found a NOS single point cap in the garbage of a house that was being cleaned out for resale.
