  I made the mistake of removing the plug wires from the original "inside" distributor cap and couldn't get it back together. Then I ordered a new distributor and "crab" cap but two different crab distributor caps would fit flush to the distributor. There has got to be a better solution. :}

  I don't quite understand your question?? A 1942 only crab cap will fit by itself with a correct gasket inbetween the cap and body. 46-48 is a 2 pce cap arrangement w. gaskets between the outer cap and innercap and inner cap and body. 42 cap must be used with the correct rotor (its longer) and clips on the body instead of the lrg.bail wire to hold both caps to a 46-48. I have all parts you might need for any FORD dist 34-48. ken ct Pm , email or cell 1-203-260-5945. Contact if more info is needed.
