Ralph, I just took a stud-type cap and fitted the metal shield to it
(bloody nuisance).  I then removed it and fitted a plastic
shield.  The plastic should eliminate your issues (of course you do
still have to make sure the key on the cap is actually in the slot on
the distributor body, but should be no harder than a plain cap).  The
plastic cap snaps on easily from above (covers the whole top with
openings for the terminal towers to poke through) and the electrical
connection is directly by one of the retaining snaps that hold the
cap on, no little braid pigtail.  Do it, you'll love it.

Cheers,
