Subject:Distributor cap for 2.1 L--sloppy fit
From:Steve Gough
Date:Mon, 2 Jul 2001 19:12:51 -0500

Here I am again asking a question:

After an engine install, I'm working on timing and note that
the distributor cap seems to have a lot of slop in its fit
to the body--both side-to-side and rotationally.

A light twist to it could easily move the timing 5 degrees,even
with the bails snapped on.

Normal?  Could somebody check their 2.1L cap part number
(it's right on top) and see if maybe the new one I have is
wrong?

Thanks in advance once again,

Steve
