Which inner caps are you folks talking about? The original post referred to a 59ab distributor which should be a two bolt '45-'48 with a rabbit ear outer cap. I know the inner caps for the earlier '32 to '41 distributors usually need some light sanding on the outer diameter to make them fit into both ends of the housing but I didn't think the inner cap of the 59ab rabbit ear distributor requires any sanding to fit. Are we possibly giving the original poster the wrong information? Or do the two bolt '45-'48 distributors also require sanding of their inner cap to fit properly?
