I'm using a painless harness that calls for the small cap computer controlled distributor, so it has the two seperate connections, i have heard that the large cap or coil in cap designs last longer and are more desirable, i have a buddy who works at a junkyard, i have a small cap in my hand, no coil though, but i asked him to keep looking for a large cap, is the harness adaptable, i think they are the same wires just different connectors correct ?? Which should i go for ?? Thanks.

 

I have an external coil, so I'm partial to it- but I don't know otherwise. What I can say tho, is if you ever plan to get an aftermarket non-direct-fit coil, if you have a coil-in-cap distributor, then you need to cover that hole up in the dist cap. (Example would be putting an MSD 6AL box on with an MSD Blaster 2 coil)

With an external coil setup, if you change to an aftermarket coil, you don't have to worry about the cap.
