Hey all,

Does someone sell replacement clips that hold on the distributor cap? My clip is broken. The engine is a 54 261 ci if that matters

Thanks

AND
When your done getting the clip off you can set this dist up as a tool to turn your engine's oil pump to ''pre prime'' the oil galleries when you rebuild or re-work your engine. it's nice to have one around

Very nice -- I didn't think of buying a whole distributor before. I'll give that a shot and see how it goes. Thanks for the replies and info!

Have a good one!

J.K Evicks,

It looks like only one of the three distributors Jim posted have the old style clips! Be sure to do your homework!
