The Series 11 cap is the same size as the M1000. The Series MM is different, having a flat side, known as a 'D' cap

Found 'this' cap - you really will have to show us a picture! But - if it fits - use it!

Besides the R & D also check the height. Sometimes a cap will fit nicely on a distributor but will be too tall and the centre button doesn't contact the rotor. Found this on a Chev truck one time, the engine ran like crap 'till we figured it out.
