Fishing the wires through the cover "ears", the rubber grommet, and the tubes is damn-near impossible.
I have a couple theories. 1) these new wires I purchased are larger diameter than the originals? 2) I don't have the patience for this anymore?
My questions are these. Assuming the issue is not the wire diameter, 1) is it possible to use a crab distributor cap on the 59A distributor? 2) Can a 21A distributor be used on this 59A engine?
Thanks.

I think they will interchange. Caps should also, however the bales may be different.
