Just found this one. If you want to run a Duraspark distributor, but the large cap gives clearance issues. I know it did for my getting into the air filter.
And you like the male distributor posts. That is what comes with the motorsports plug wires.
I'm fairly sure this will even work with the factory breaker point setup as well.

International Harvester. They ran a Ford distributor with male posts in the small form factor.
Cap Standard AL482
Rotor FD311
Common off the shelf parts. May not be in stock, but will come out of the parts store warehouse in a day.

For 20 years I never knew this existed. Just learned today.

I saw that a while back, not sure if it was on here or a truck or mustang site. But you just have to trim out the area on the cap I think where the vacuum advance is, or maybe the wiring. Can't remember. I'm getting one when I go to Duraspark... There are other ones on RockAuto, but the SMP cap is the only one with brass terminals, the others use aluminum.
