[V8] V8 Distributor Cap

[dsaad at icehouse.net]

I think if you bring your distributor down to the parts house, you will find a 
cap from a 4 banger VW of about the same vintage will fit. I am 96.45% sure I 
have seen a cap and rotor form a early ninties VW fit. I may even have it still 
at home.
Coil packs would be cool - but now you need a new ECU and everything that goes 
with it. That will put a strain on the ol visa card.
