Don’t know if it’s still true but in the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s the go-to brand was “Standard Blue Streak”. Yep, Standard Blue Streak was the top pick, but Standard was excellent also. Other than a slight appearance and price difference, the two looked to be identical. In performance, I could never detect any difference. In the recent past, Rock Auto has had Standard Blue Streak, but not now.

I found them from the man I bought the car from. He has some spares stock . I talked him out of 3 sets of pairs for $30 per pair.and with a nos condenser , I tried to get him to come off 5 sets total, but the he said nope. ( he has several cars still running them ) BUT,,,,,,,,I have him thinking about selling me one of his NOS green lettered coil The dist caps and rotors I found on Amazon of all places. And one on Ebay Standard # AL483 ps, by application is Marine, I currently have a NAPA Al1680 on the car now, Same application. Looks just like the Mopar 2585000 cap, just without the Made In USA embossed lettering

According to Standard's website, AL-483 Distributor Cap does not fit 1969 340, 383, nor 440.

Its part number AL1680 ...same deal. Marine applications. My brother crossed the number to standard # . I found the napa number in an old prestolite book years ago. And i sold a couple hundred of them.....NEVER had one complaint.

The marine version may differ by not having a vent hole under a clip. Could be as simple as that to meet different safety standards.

X2 on the gasket, but a gasket wouldn't seal anything by itself if the cap had a vent hole. Boats don't need fuel fumes coming anywhere near sparks, especially in an enclosed engine compartment. A fire in a boat has a lot worse consequences than a fire under the hood of a car. A car can pull over to the side of the road, a boat doesn't much choice on where to stop.
