    Resistor Distrbitor cap question convert?

    OK, I believe now I have a M882 that has had the 24V removed, but still has the shielded plug wires and plugs. Instead of switching it all out, are there shielded replacement plugs on the market, or am I better off changing it all to a newer civilian set-up, but I am hoping the civilian dist...

    Resistor Distrbitor cap question convert?

    I'm sorry, I think it's called a radio suppression system (dist. cap & wires), can I just put a regular cap and change out the wires and plugs with the existing distributor?
