Default msd small cap distributor outer diameter measurement please ?

hi guys,
i have ordered #8366 msd dist but have not yet had it sent from jegs yet as im still waiting on other parts,but
i was just wandering if any one could please giver me the msd billet gm small cap distributor out diameter cap measurments please ??

i wanted to know the cap size so i can plan my brass fittings locations on my new 8 t/b intake thats all.

also does it matter which way i install the distribtor with the two plug/wires facing ???, the reason being i might have to face the plugs side on the distributor facing the passenger side and not the other way round that all as my wire harneses may be be a little too short you see...

i know that larry (ld85) has a small cap msd dist may be you can chip in larry please ??

cheers guys
shae

OD = overall diameter;width from one side to the other.
Around the outside is circumference

Opps, I did meausre wrong, it is actually 3.875" at the top, so 4" (100mm) should suffice if you include the flange at the bottom

Sorry to disagree rodj

OD - Outside Diameter
OAL = Over All Length
