Does anyone know if there is a distributor cap that fits the stock y-block distributor with male/HEI connectors that accept 8-9mm snap style spark plug wires?
Any info appreciated.

Standard Ignition AL-482 with slight modification. Make a notch to clear the vacuum advance at the base. Keep it tight or the cap will move around. This is for the International Harvester V8 distributor.

AL482. STANDERD AUTO PART. WAS USED ON INTERNATIONAL TRUCKS. NO MODS REQUIRE
another option is the big cap off fords with duraspark,it requires sub cap main latgcap plus rotor.(should work with petrol conversion

Not all y-blocks use the same distributor cap. For instance, the 55 Tbird cap is smaller than the 57 Tbird cap; they are not interchangeable.

How about the rotor - use the one that goes with the cap or a regular Ford 57 rotor?
