Speaking of Distributors.....You ought to attempt to find a distributor cap
for a '37 Bentley !! I've seen them priced around $80 - up. If I were to
replace my points with an electronic ignition ( forget originality...I'll
hide it somewhere.) Could I use a slightly cracked distributor cap? This
is just information to give me options for the future. Thanks--
