How many different top ignition shielding pieces were made for the 270hp, carbureted '58-'60 vette? I thought I had the correct one until a couple weeks ago when two judges tell me that I had the wrong one! (Not a big problem 'cause I still top-flghted!)
They told me that the front of my unit had an incorrect cut-out (just behind the rear carburetor). The judging manual does not have a view of the front of the unit (only the top).
The JM also says....."The upper distributor shield varieties seen for 1958 though all but the latest 1960 models have a short front skirt with two lower cutouts. It is possible that the late-1960 top shields were the 1961 with a long front skirt. Also, the earliest 1958 FI version nay have used a 1957 (short skirt) top shield which lacks the two front cutouts"
Can anyone explain the previous paragragh? It's all mumbo-jumbo to me!
