Original distributor cap question
Hey guys
I pulled this distributor cap off my 67 gto and was wondering if it’s the original. I’ve talked to some friends and we think yes. But I’ve been doing some reading on the Internet that the distributor caps with the R on the top we’re 68 and later . Anyone have a solid answer ? Btw I’m looking for a nos cap for my 67 |

I see '68' stamped on the inside of the cap, is that a date code?

Here is a link that might explain it. Looks like yours is an original 67 cap. The r on it stands for resistor not replacement.

Factory Distributor Cap
The factory cap for 64-67 GTO with standard ignition “Did Not” have the “R” on top.
These caps said (Delco - Remy Patent Pending) only. My 65 shown below still has its born with Cap and Wires. I know of a low mileage late June 67 Survivor with this same cap. Chris.

No R...
Eric, here's two photos of my original cap. The numbers molded on the inside next to the Delco Remy logo are not date related from my research.

Are you sure that's original? I thought that the terminals on a original cap would have been brass.

Yep, I would think only performance applications got the brass/copper terminals. Very nice, Chris!
