1967 distributor shield

[James S.]

Is the front grounding clip on the distributor shield for a 67 small block configured differently than for a 65? I have a shield, which I believe is an original GM replacement, and it has the grounding clip with a top and bottom contact point. I think this is correct for a 65. Would it judge correctly for my 67?

Re: 1967 distributor shield

There were other differences between '65 and '67 including the height of the front lip due to the difference in depth between the '65 and '66-67 air cleaners. '66-67 will interchange for functional and judging purposes, '65 will not.

Thanks Bill. I think what I may have is a 66/67 shield with a 65 clip.
