distributor cap question

[Mike G.]

i have 3 original delco remy caps and i am not sure what they fit. the one for my 70 according to the book has raised delco remy and patent pending R. i have that one for my 70 but i have 2 more. one looks the same but it has the raised delco remy and patent pending with no R. the other one has patent pending and the part number. what do these 2 fit?

First original-second design replacement-third design replacement

Re: distributor cap question

thanks, so the first is the good one and the others are junk

All are 'correct'...

but the embossed legends (no R, with R, with patent number) define the proper time frame when each was the factory 'original' version for different Corvettes. The other two are NOT 'junk'...they're simply a match for later era Corvettes.
