Subject: [Healeys] Jaguar Distributor cap for Healey DM6A distributor
I have a DM6A Lucas distributor and would like to replace the side loading
original cap with a top loading cap. Someone (possibly here?) mentioned that
a Jaguar XJ6 distributor cap would work. However, I cannot find the post and
I am not sure which cap to order. If XJ6, which year, series and etc.
Can anyone help? Thank you!
Lin

Subject: Healey 6 Cylinder Distributor Caps and Plug Wires
If there is anyone out there who is tired of messing around with a stock
Healey 6 Cylinder Distributor Cap and "cut to fit" Spark Plug Wires, you can
easily change to a regular style distributor cap that uses "standard plug
wires" (no cutting or screwing a cone point screw to break the insulation)
by going to a parts house and ask for a distributor cap that fits a 1969 to
1975 Jaguar XJ6 2.8 or 4.2 size motor. It will fit perfectly on the Healey
Distributor Housing and you can use all the other stock parts (rotors,
points, and condensers). I made the conversion to my '65 BJ8 and it runs
better now than it ever has. The cap should be less than $30.00.
If memory serves me correct, the Lucas Part Number for the Distributor Cap I
purchased is DDB 117, but I feel confident that there are several other
brands out there to choose from.
The only other thing you will need to buy is a regular set of standard 6
cylinder plug wires with standard fittings on the distributor cap end.
I hope this info works as well for you as it did for me..

Gary et al.
The 'real' distributor cap that accepts 'modern' ignition wires is the
Triumph TR6 cap. Its interchangable for the 6 cyliner Healeys and you don't
have to mess with screws going through the wire and separating the carbon
(or whatever it is) conductor.

Seems that you may have a choice!
