Jeff Sounds good Jeff. I still got loads of things to do on the vette The only things almost done are the body (still needs BMFed) and the wheels/tires (still need sanded. But as my grandfather taught me, "I'll get around to it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not done yet Blake, It'll be added along with the other parts, the Corvette had more of a lid then a cap, that covered that area atleast according to the kit and reference I have found.

highway Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I'll post a picture of it later Blake. Edit this is the best picture I had that showed it. It's called an ignition shield, Blake!!! All older model Corvettes that had a radio had these installed for shielding to prevent engine noise being transmitted through the stereo because of the fiberglass body. The only Corvettes that would be correct with a regular style distributor cap that would be visible would be a radio delete car, where there was no stereo ordered from the factory. The way Nick is detailing this is 100% correct for a Vette with a stereo, as most of the connections at the distributor will not be seen once the shield is in place. Great work so far Nick and wonderful reference work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
