If your "red cap" distributor looks like this then the Napa ( MA 2 ) black cap is the replacement.

There was a thread on here about a week ago that said the Echlin MA9 cap and MA7 rotor were a replacement for old Mallory flattops. Several of us have them on order, so we should know soon.

See this thread : https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=299692.

Until the OP decides to provide exactly which distributor he has, anything is just a guess.
Don't believe the flat top Mallory ever had a RED cap.

Guys all those numbers are in the Napa buyers guide , however I haven’t been able to buy any of them for a long time . They are obsolete but ya may find one on the shelf or warehouse from time to time . Also remember there is a Mallory YL and YC. Two very different units ..
