Distributor cap

[Steamboat]

This is about the third iteration of my 3d printed distributor cap.  After much frustration trying to make plug wire boots, I came up with the idea to make the boots part of the cap.  Then they just need to be painted black before gluing the wires in.

Took it to the next level... Why not make right angle boots for it as well?  The layer lines from 3d printing are not visible with the naked eye although the camera picks them up.

are the right angle boots printed as  part of the distributor ?

Yes they are.  All you have to do is glue the wire into the hole.

do you sell the files? and do 4, 6, as well?

I actually hadn't thought about selling the files.  I probably should.  

I have made a  6 cylinder distributor but with no boots, shown in the photo below. I made it a while ago and it could probably use an update.

looks great, but I like to place mine in the correct firing order in the right rotation. But that is just my thing

The right angle boots are set up for 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 clockwise.  Works for most engines, but of course there are some that it won't work on.
