Thumbs up MSD black cap

Patrickt,

You are correct. I am running one on the Pro-Billet in my 351W (originally equipped with the Ford "big cap" and that hideous cap adapter). Don't know about the FE, but on the Windsor, I just had to cut off the L-shaped, spring-loaded mounting "screws" that came on this cap, and use the regular screws that came with the Pro-Billet instead. The Pro-Billet base had tapped holes for both the Ford pattern and the Chevy pattern caps (which is what this cap is).

It is a welcome addition to the MSD lineup for those of us that like a more subtle/stock appearance!

BTW, anybody know what MSD coats their can-type coils (e.g. Blaster) in? I tried painting my extremely red Blaster coil black, only to find that the paint would shed off at the least touch. Wound up stripping it to bare metal before it would take primer and paint. The red coating seemed to be a cross between an epoxy and rubber of some sort???
