Hi Bernie! Sorry to kind of steal your thread, but I noticed you also have a Delco distributor and I'm having a little bit of a tough time figuring out what I'm not doing incorrectly to get my internals all together. I fear I might have the wrong condensor, however I'm not sure as I can't seem to find another one. Would you happen to have a picture of the innards or your distributor? The condensor I have seems to be too tall as to allow for proper clearance for the rotor to spin.
This is essentially what my internals look like right now, minus the condensor. The condensor I have is cylindrical and soldered to a tab that mounts to one of the baseplate posts, however it just doesn't seem to sit down far enough to clear the rotor arm.
Also regarding your cap, unfortunately I don't have another one, however there is this listing on ebay that ends in about 16 hours:
