Correct LS6 Distributor Cap?

[chevychevellels6]

My 1111437 dist has a 2 piece shield that covers the points, is this what you call RFI shield. Is it rare? My 1111499 dist on my camaro doesn't have one. Should it?

[SS427]

That distributor came with that shield and it is very rare to see one still on a distributor. If it went through one points change, it was generally tossed. You are lucky to have yours. I do not believe the 499 distributor ever came with it but I may be incorrect.

I have a few of the Delco Remy dist caps and notice some have different size font of the printed words and one has copper contacts vs alu. Also I have read that some do not have the "R" on them.

[SS427]

From my understanding, the difference between the copper and aluminum contacts are steel body cars vs Corvettes. Also there is a letter difference in the 'D' 308 number. My info is somewhere at home.

I have a copper cap # D324

You are correct there Joe...I have seen DELCO REMY PATENT PENDING caps....DELCO REMY PATENT PENDING R caps, and then there is of course the DELCO REMY PATENT PENDING followed by the actual Patent #. As it turns out, that is what my Fact of the week/month is right now...on my web page...with a very nice photo showing the non "R" cap.

That's what 39 hours of no sleep and a 14 hour drive will do to you. I felt worse that I let my customer down. That 10 points hurt!

Hey Chevychevellels6, does the VIN on your car happen to end in 5271 ?

[chevychevellels6]

No it does not.
