Distributor cap removal HELP???!
OK, I've done frame offs on Jeeps, swapped trannies, etc but for the life of me
short of taking a lot of stuff off, I can't figure out how to get the cap off!!!
Please help me out, it is in a very small tight area as you all know..

Thank you very much

Just did mine tonight.You need a 7mm open edd wrench and a lot of patience.If the AC line is in the way there is a small bolt in the bacl side if the intake to get it lose to move it up a little.the bolt will be hard to get back in so dont remove it unless you have to.To remove the cap you have to take the spark plug wires off the cap.Just be patience and go slow.

2 posts, from what I saw, were eroding & had rust also..
darn thing is probably the original, the plugs were (and were quite worn!!)
