I love learning these weird little things that can be different, though I'd rather not do it the hard way. Also I should've looked at the distributors maybe 24h earlier so I wouldn't have to wait till monday.
If I can't get the correct cap from the store, I think I'll return the distributor as an incorrect part. Though my dad certainly believes that the round rotor is just as common. Is this other type of rotor only for 84-85? All 302/351 cars/trucks?
RA does show the bigger rotor, but the distributor listing all show the stub type rotor mounting.
On a side note: Today was the first time I started the car cold with the spout unplugged (aka non-fcked timing), it started way nicer and ran smooth straight away. It didn't need the choke at all. The timing issue made the cold idle so uneven that it ran way slower rpm and made it stall like a cold carbed engine.
