Yes, you're right, I meant the actual distributor housing, not the cap itself. I
haven't found one yet, but I did discover that the
77-78 distributor is smaller than the later ones, and from what I've been told,
they DO indeed work with Weber side drafts without
touching the manifold barrel. So, that sounds hopeful. Now all I need to do is
find one in good shape.



S1 or S2 RX7 struts . got it.



Any thoughts on the sway bar?

I said smaller distributor, not just the cap. I doubt you'll find a smaller
cap that fits the distributor you have. No idea about years. Very few
Corollas sold in Australia had T motors, only the TE72 really and those
weren't terribly popular, to put it mildly.

You might be able to find a low-profile aftermarket distributor for it,
perhaps from MSD or some other ignition specialist. Alternatively some
kind of optical (missing tooth on flywheel ring gear) or hall-effect trigger.

As Stewart Ford said on this group not long ago, ignition is one of the
best bang-for-buck upgrades you can do for an old carbs/points engine
like a K or T. I've been a passenger in his KE15 twice now. AWESOME!

This may not help you but I know of one guy running early (S1 or S2, not
sure) Mazda RX7 struts in his KE25 racecar. If you can sort out that upgrade
you may find it signficantly easier to upgrade your brakes and suspension.
Sorry I don't have more details on this
