Default Need Help Modifying Distributor Cap for Jacobs ICE Ignition pack...

Well I've been having trouble with my igntion so I sent it back to Jacobs/Mr. Gasket for service, when I got it back they said the dist. cap I sent them was bad, they sent me a new OEM cap without the extra points, and 1 point (package with instructions and hardware to add 1 point for external coil) and decided to keep the jacobs cap (with 2 extra points for ex coil and 2nd trigger) I sent into them.

This is an big ordeal, Jacobs was recently was purchased by Mr. Gasket, so when it comes to any of their older style stuff they have no clue...

They said they don't make the cap anymore, MSD caps only have 1 external point hook-up so I guess I am stuck modifying.....

----------------------------------------------

<u>Heres what I have now..</u>

Brand new OEM style cap with no points for external coil or secondary trigger

1 extra point to be drilled into the cap for the external coil


The cap is supposed to have 2 external points, 1 point for external coil, and 1 point for a secondary trigger.

Now my question is can I just add a point to the middle of the cap for the secondary trigger just like the external coil point? I am asking because on the stock cap there is already something there.

Heres a pic of what I am tring to do... Look at the "Jacobs Modified Cap"



BTW: I'm installing this on a 90 Integra

If it doesn't make sense let me know and I will try again.

Thanks for any input
