The only "boot" or "gasket" I've seen on a Syncro distributer is kind of a
rubber "sock" that goes over the top after the cap & wires are attached.  It
looked like it would reduce the likelyhood of water splashes contacting the
distributer & could be added over any similar sized distributer, Syncro or
not.  Certainly a seperate part - not part of the distributer.
