So my BE had the side-entry distributor cap.
I bought a Pertronix Electronic distributor which has a top entry distributor cap and says to use non-solid core plug wires.
So I bought a set of top-entry wires from Moss.
It seems that the top-entry wires are a friction fit into the distributor cap vs the side-entry that had a screw to tighten.
However, the wires I have won't fit the cap I got from Pertronix. The wires are too small (diameter-wise) for the holes in the cap.
Does this make sense?
Does the Pertronix cap take a certain size (say whatever today's "standard" is) where the ones from Moss were the right size for the top-entry British Car caps of the past?
Can I get the right size wires for the Pertronix from just a local auto-supply store?
Just trying to figure this out before I buy another set that won't fit.
TIA,
Ed
