The clamp down type large HEI caps fit the screw down type distributors too (for large caps). Interchangeable. Doesn't work the other way around - screw down type caps Have to go onto distributors with the screw holes drilled and tapped..

So how does the clamp down cap with where the stock one was a screw type? Does it just go right in place?

Goes into the stock location. But when you turn the "L" shaped clams with a screwdriver, they ride on the bottom edge of the distributor housing where there are slots for them. The tapped screwholes are not used.

Which makes me a feel like an idiot, running around town for 2 hours one night, looking for a screw down cap.
