Re: Modern distributor for '38 Su8

I thought it would be useful to close out this thread with a solution. Recall the topic was introduced because of the expense of the '38 Su8 Distributor cap (3 pieces $500-700). I'd like to give full credit to Stuart Blond at Kanter auto who suggested a replacement cap and rotor from the '38 120 which fits perfectly, and cost $35! It lets me run the engine on the stand, use better plug wires as it has a standard plug in set up, and I can continue to search to the 'grail' at a more attainable price. Curiously all I need is the 'female' thumb screw at the top (see attached photos)...tough to find so far. Thanks for all the responses. Knowing this level of expertise is reassuring when you're alone in the garage. Have a wonderful Holiday!
