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..

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..

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

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.. 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 Mike

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? ...

I get the tan color, non-vented, and brass inserts, but what makes a cap dual point? Dual point is a Prestolite unit and it uses a different cap than the single point/electronic dist.
running up my post count some more .

Thank you sir!
I ordered one of these from Summit last year (Aug '15). When I opened the box it had the big black vent on it. So I returned it for a refund.
The pic on Summit's website did not show a vent just like Jegs pic. I don't know if they changed the part after the pic or what the deal was. Has anyone bought one recently?

I found the tan cap I took off the distributor in my 71 Challenger 340 and it has the following numbers inside the cap 2444507 which appears to be a Mopar number. I replaced it with the NAPA AL1290. I did a google search using NAPA AL1290 and the pic that comes up shows a non vented tan cap for a dual point distributor which is what I received. I'm purchasing another and will put the two caps side by side in some pics. Terry
