Is this a GTA ignition cap?
If you know, please tell me if this is a GTA cap, or some other M&M relic:
Thanks!
Mike

You have a part number? I think Montreal caps one have one coil wire.

Best photo I could find in my files of a GTA cap in situ. Hope this helps.
Alex.

My first thought is that it's a Montreal cap because of what appears to be a number '8' by one of the towers. Don't know if the GTA and Monty caps are the same but I'll check the parts books when I get home tonight.

Although the pics in the parts books look the same, the GTA and Monty caps have different part numbers. Can possibly take a pic of a Monty cap this weekend if need be.

Pics of my GTA Distributor cap and rotor. Looks like it is the same as those that mike posted so I say it is a GTA cap. Seams to me without seing a Montreal cap that the Montreal cap would only have and nead one hi tension lead input from a coil. The pic of the rotor showes the 2 electroded at different elevations, even though a bit blurred.
Regards
Ken
Ps: Mike is it for sale?
