Yes....It does have the metal prongs and it does remind me of the caps from the early (55-57) Chevy V8s.Jan, Like this one on Ebay?
Good catch. Best to use top quality wires regardless. If memory serves correctly this engine has been on the stand for many, many years. The black FOMOCO cap looks like it fits the indications that it's stock.I see in the picture that they mistakenly have plug wire 7 & 8 too close together. If you reference the Tiger service manual on plug wire routing, they make a point to say NOT to get 7&8 wires close together, or a misfire will happen.

Might be the current equivalent. The outlet turns up so that's maybe an issue given the shortage of vertical space in the engine bay, or maybe not.This image might answer some questions.
Id say chromed during production and filled with the mesh after.. Likely a mustang, galaxy etc freds up that garrard pilferedI had a chrome radiator cap and various other bits. The right angle breather in chrome is nice . Wonder how it was plated since the inside is probably filled full of your typical steel mesh to catch the oil blowing by.
