This is all very frustrating for you.

I have to agree with Tom the cap for your vehicle is Rover Part 261240
(Lucas Part 415298).

If you have a cap that is too small for your distributor and it came out of
a box marked 261240.  Then the cap you have is a Rover Part 245004 (Lucas
Part 418871) and was packed in the wrong box.

The siamese bore engine has the oil filter element on the exhaust side , in
front of the starter. the standard distributor for that engine needs the 261
240 cap.
The spread bore engine has the filter unit ( with replacable paper element)
on the intake side under the manifold. It's standard distributor needs the
245 004 cap ( as shown on the TLR web site)
You may have purchased a spread bore cap in a siamese bore box.
I am not sure wether the later and more spares friendly distributor is
"direct swappable" or if it needs some modifications.
I would think the list has some experts on that topic.
