JACUSTOMER-oczwq5xb- :

JACUSTOMER-oczwq5xb- :

eurotec :

correct

JACUSTOMER-oczwq5xb- :

ok now does the distributor take two clips?

eurotec :

the firing order is listed in the middle also

JACUSTOMER-oczwq5xb- :

we have that just didn't know how the cyliders were numbered

eurotec :

On the cap?

JACUSTOMER-oczwq5xb- :

yes

eurotec :

The cap should have retainers in the cap.

eurotec :

They push down and hook onto a clip on the distributor body

JACUSTOMER-oczwq5xb- :

can you send a picture of the way the distributor cap attaches to the distributor?

eurotec :

Full Size Image

eurotec :

The arrow is pointing to one of the clips that the anchor in the cap is attached to.

JACUSTOMER-oczwq5xb- :

ok the clips can we get from any auto part place or are the special order

eurotec :

I don't think that they are sold separately

eurotec :

You will probably need to go to a salvage yard.

JACUSTOMER-oczwq5xb- :

thank you very very much!!! you have been very helpful!!

eurotec :

You're quite welcome
