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.

2444507 is the part number for a single point cap
dual point is 2585000

Napa part number for the tan cap for dual point dist is AL1680

I checked and the old tan cap #2444507 is off a single point distributor. I ordered the AL1290 yesterday and here is from their (NAPA's) web site.

I have a black one that fits on a dual point distributor I have and I'll compare the two. Thanks.

I finally picked up the AL 1290 NAPA Dual Point cap today and here are pictures of the cap. There's a vent hole drilled behind the one hold down clip, the other one doesn't have a hole. Brass posts.

Is that for the dual point Dist? The places for the hold down clips look higher than normal.

Yes it is for a dual point, a single point cap does not look like that.

Here's the NAPA cap installed on my dual point distributor. The step the clip snaps on to measures 15/16" from bottom edge of cap to top of step. It runs just fine.

Here is an original 2585000 Chrysler dual point cap,the single point has a higher slot and a longer and narrower clip,not even close to the dual point.

That's awesome!

I still have not found a single point cap with brass contacts that does not have that big ugly vent on the top. Anybody have an idea who sells them?
