Distributor cap problem

Recommended Posts

I have just been changing the distributor cap on my 8v Corrado and am having a problem finding any means of locating the cap on the distributor body. Is it simply held in place by the springs, or is there some other guide that I have missed.

 

cheers

The cap should only fit on in one position iirc, so rotate it round until it sits right. The two spring clips can then be secured.

Hello there,

 

you should have a locator tab on the base of the distributor cap,

this tab then fits into the recess or cut out on the top side of the distributor unit.

 

Please see photo's below
