I think you have mentioned that story before, as it does sound familiar! If they made a distributor "condom" for a Chrysler product, I wonder if they'd call it a "Magnum" 
Personally, I'd be tempted to just ditch the whole Lean burn system...distributor, carb, and all, and just go for the simple aftermarket Mopar Performance distributor setup. I'm not knowledgeable enough to do it myself though, and my mechanic said that it's so rare to find a car as nice and original as my '79 NYer, that he doesn't want to butcher it up like that. Personally I don't care how original it is, I just want the danged thing to start semi-reliably!

I was cruising Ebay and by coincidence saw a nice clean 89 GM with a good shot of the engine. Figured I would post it because of the distributor cap cover discussion.

Look under the hood of a late 80s Grand Marq, CV, or Town Car its all the same. Never understood why they didn't have model specific logo on the manifold. Probably saved $.12 a car....

My mistake, I read "GM" and thought, well, GM, not Grand Marquis...

my mustang has one of those condoms over the distributor.
i'll bet they had them until they went to the 4.6 with cops.

what is strange about that picture to me is, my 91 mustang has the same setup, but the manifold is turned 180 degrees. the oil filler is in the same position.

The GM/CV/TC all use the low output 302. On the Mustang and Mark VIIs they got the HO 302 and they are reversed, I guess because the air intake needed to be on the passenger side.
