distributer cap gasket 86 GL

[jrcrum]

Hey guys Im looking for a source to get the gasket that goes between the distributer and the distributer cap. I've tried several parts stores (car quest, O'riely's, and autozone.) and nobody seems to have one or can get one. Can the dealer get one? My nearest dealer is 3 hours away so I haven't checked there yet. My GL has stalled out a couple of times and with the snow season approaching I want to make sure it doesn't get any condensation under the cap again.

 

thanks in advance.

I've wondered about that part myself - call the dealer and ask. It may not be sold seperate from the distributor.

 

Also - if you find a good used one just apply a liberal amount of vasaline to it. Will keep it from breaking down and keep it water-tight. You can also use a latex glove - put it around the distributor with a rubber band and poke the wires through the fingers.

Thanks GD I'll give the dealer a call this week, I'll post up what I find out. Also clever idea with the latex glove!
