[alfa] Re: Bosch Distributor (NAC)

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Mike:

I don't know if I'd sink too far into the depths of despair, just 
yet.  I've got a mid-60's Bosch 041 disty on my '74 Spider, and I get the 
caps for <$10 at any NAPA store.  The Bosch parts were used on so may 
different cars that they're almost generic.  The only problem with NAPA can 
sometimes be that you've got to find a counter person that wants to help 
you, by pulling out the old parts books, rather than just trying a computer 
search.  If you've got a Bosch part #, that will make your life very easy.

Also you might try Pelican Parts:

That's just one source I've used for old German stuff, but there are almost 
too many to choose from.  Good luck.

Regards,
