Ford NAA distributor dust cover

Olliejunkie · Mar 18, 2019

Awhile ago, longer than I can remember, I bought a new dust cover and cap for a NAA. It did not fit. Dust cover wont go in distributor. Anyone else have this problem? Remedy? Also bought a new rotor clip as it was missing. Now it's missing again. Oliver's just seem so much easier to work on.

Depends on the distributor. I've had some that the cap won't clip
on tightly and had no alignment notch without that dust cover.
Others worked fine without it.

I have a NOS dust cover out here in the original Ford parts box yet.
I would have to check to see if it's NAA or 8N. If they were different.

I think I bought a new cap and it didnt fit the old dust cover so I bought a new dust cover and it doesn't fit the distributor. I may just put the originals back on. I'm fixing it for a neighbor that's not real mechanical so I'm trying to make it so he won't have to mess with it plus he is giving me a 8n that he let me drive many years ago. Thank you for the input.

I don't think you'll go wrong re-using the original dust cover.
Not likely to go wrong with the old cap either, unless it is cracked
or severely worn by the rotor wearing marks into it. Just MHO.
