‘61 Newport that is new to me- sorting her out and trying to identify some parts….

I know you're the distributor guy, but aren't the cast-iron distributors different?
My 65 413's dual-point takes a different cap like this one. I presumed it to be the correct/original item.
I tried a later 'standard' cap and it does not fit, the clocking tab on the dizzy does not fit the notch on the later cap.

Thats the prestolite style. The others have a notch in them for a tab on the vac advance to fit into.
