Joe, not quite sure I understand what you are looking for?  Do you have a photo of old parts?

If you"re looking for horn button and chrome trim ring I think I have them


PM me if interested; mbfleming@aol.com

The NAPA number is AL63. The cap includes the button. A quick check on eBay yielded at least a half dozen for sale.

mbflemingkf I was looking for a distributor cap (Napa) Al63 and a button (Napa AL 62) but did not know the correct part number to order. I have it now and they will have it in the store this afternoon.

Ok I get it now. You’re looking for the cap and rotor. In the old days, a cap came with a spring and center contact that was typically called a button. I think that’s what confused a few of us since caps today have the spring and contact built in.
