Default Buying Correct Parts

I have bought parts from Eckler's, Zip, Wilcox and alike but they are not always original or exact reprodution. I need to purchase new spark plug leads for my '72 BB and while I'm about it might as well get the correct distributor cap too. Where do I buy these, Dr Rebuild?
I have tried to ask a question on their website but they don't accept questions. I wanted them to ship USPS as UPS and Fedex prices are unreal but until you buy, the system won't let you ask questions you can only place an order.

Regards,
Chris

You'd have to work out the time zone differences, but give them a call. I'm confident the customer services folks will work with you.

Chris,

I’m not aware of anyone that makes the Correct Cap for you car.

The wire set for you car should look like the one in the picture below.

Chris,
I am not sure who you have been talking too, but we sell the correct spark plug wires for your car that are dated. We do not stock these, they are drop shipped by the supplier because of the different dates. The cap is made out of the right materials and it says delco remey but it does not say pat. pend on it.
Thanks
