    55 Distributor Shielding

    I am trying to figure out how the distributer ignition shielding fits on the distributor on my 55. It was not with the care when I acqured it. Is there somehwere that this is documented?

    It looks like the bottom ring goes under the lip of the distributor cap.
    It looks like the body goes over the distributor cap, but are the clips from the distributor body supposed to fit over the tabs on this? If so, are there longer clips. The ones I have barely fit over the distributor cap without the shield in place.

    Further, there are four screw holes in the top inside of the body. In Adams restoration guid, a picture is shown with screws in the holes, but there is not further information. What purpose do the serve? Is there another part that they hold on?

    Insofar as the top is concerned, I was able to fit the handle and the roller into place. Is this all that holds the cover on?

    Thanks for your help.

    Well I'm the one that makes them.The four holes are for the plug wire shield grounds . You press the cap inside the can , install the lower ring so that the cut outs align with the cap and lock it on . You may need to use a pair of pliers to grab the dist side clips to aid clipping them on. What # number is your 55.

      Car number 504. It has the distributor with the blanked vacum advance. I should have thought about the plug wire grounds. Thank you for the information. btw, when we display these for judging, do we have to completely dismantle this canister so they can see the distributor cap?
