Dust cap in distributor

(quoted from post at 19:55:37 01/16/20)
The problem is the clearance of the cap from the rotor. The dust cap acts as a spacer to hold it up.

And as JMOR noted it might work, you might not get it together if the rotor lines up with a cap tower and hits. Of course it might set right down between towers. But beware, if it does set down and you make the clips work, when you crank it over the rotor will likely hit a tower. If you're lucky it will only break the rotor. Maybe the rotor and cap, maybe more damage.

Do you feel lucky?
