Subject:Re: Why won't my Distributor Cap Fit?
From:Thomas Casal <thomas.casal@GMAIL.COM>

Have you tried an 86 rotor?  Did you compare your current rotor to the new
ones to see if they were the same?  I just did cap rotor and it took me a
second to get the rotor seated properly.  There is a little internal slot
that needs to line up with the distributor properly as well.
