    1961 distributor top shield

    I ordered a reproproduction ignition shield set for a 1961 non FI. The top shield and RT vertical shield do not fit properly. I am trying to determine if perhaps they sent me an incorrect top shield but I can not find out what differences exist between 1960, 1961, 1962 distributor top shields.

    I have a top shield that came with my car (1961) that does fit properly. It differs from the reproduction shield on the right side. The slot on the right side is more y shaped and extends about a 1/4 of an inch further than the reproduction. That 1/4 inch make a big difference. I can certainly modify the repro to fit but I would rather send it back if it is the wrong part. I have pictures of the two shields that can email if needed. Thanks

    Noland's book has a very detailed chronology/description/illustrations of the C1 ignition shielding parts on pages 414-417 that may help you identify what you have.
