I'm surprised nobody has made a problem solver Vortec distributor cap with regular short 8mm brass or aluminum studs around the whole perimeter of the cap.
Even if they have to have 90° bends out the sides of the cap it's better than this mess.

Running full ignition power all over robinhoods' barn under a thin piece of thermoplastic to save 4 inches of plug wires is a recipe for short lifespan.
