dist. cap
I went to autozone for a dist. cap & rotor for my 90 c4 now the question is they only had a MSD cap with brass inside but it didnt screw on it has the spring 1/4 turn locking lugs. where as my car has screws. Will that work? other wise its napa.

There is nothing for the 'clips' to grab on to.
Take it back and get the right one.
I know, because I just went through the same thing. I asked for the 'Corvette' cap and they gave the the MSD 'GM' one instead.
BTW. The right one is 'gray'.

Go to Summitracing site and order one of the Accel caps. There $20.00 cheaper and just as good, with all brass contacts...WW

Taylor also makes a screw-down cap and rotor kit.

I had ordered an MSD cap from Summit and it turned out their part number info is wrong; they show MSD L98 Corvette caps but they are the spring clamp type. The MSD catalog on their own website shows the same incorrect part number. Returned the MSD Cap and got the Taylor cap. It's heavier (thicker wall) than the MSD Cap and costs about 3 bucks less.

most napa stores have them also, and pep boys, if any of the chains stores dont have the cap or for that matter the part you need , they can usually have it there in a few hours depending on the location, hope this helps
