    Dont really know the proper name but I would guess cap extension. I know you can pick them up at any good parts store.

    The factory manual simply calls it an adapter. Yeah, you usually have to buy them seperately.

    Some of them sell all three pieces in a set, like Standard-Blue Streak, comes with the cap. cap adapter and rotor. They were used in the early 80's prior to the TFI-EFI distributors.

    Once you have one it can be used forever - unless it cracks or gets broken.
