Hi Jim,
That's actually not an Austin Healey distributor cap.....although it
will fit Healeys from '64 - 67. That style was used on many other
vehicles but the correct cap for a Healey has the wires coming out
sideways. Not a big issue as they will both work.
The cap that seems to be in short supply is for 6 cylinder cars up to
'64. It is very similar but the cut outs around the mounting face are
different.

Just ran across this source for the distributor cap. $11.48. Maybe
worth
a try.
