Well if they value a reproduction at $850, I'll value my original at twice that if I ever decide to sell it. That's not bad for pulling it out of a pile of rusty junk at Hershey. I think I paid $20 for the BAT and exhaust manifolds.

Receive my clear distributor cap from Mike's this afternoon. Must say I am a little disappointed. The new clear caps does not fit snuggly on the distributor body. The other one I have fits really good.

Just like everything other repro these days.

I just received mine from Mike's today and it snapped right onto the distributor body. I measured it against my regular cap and the diameters were off by less than .01". The clear disc is not defect-free, but should serve its purpose for diagnostics.
