Default Model B distributor

Does the B distributor use a different cap than an A? I didn't know about the slot for the timing lever on the A.

The B cap has wires that plug in for later years but the early ones were like a Model A.

The same, except the alignment notch is 90 degrees off from the Model A, so all later caps were made with 2 notches in order to fit both models.
