the distributor cap is ceramic... so you drill two small holes in the bottom edges of the cap to vent exhaust gas that comes up the distributor shaft and into the cap when you down shift aggressively in the 124 spyder .... its even worse in a turbo spyder. :bored:bored
Don't ask how many caps I went through before we figured that one out. :ack:ack

Looked on my VCR (had to move my 8-track tape player to get to it) and it says "EP" is extended play and "SP" is slow play. Just FYI.:biggrin

1- What was the cap FASTENED DOWN WITH from the factory...a rubber band???
2- How the devil can EXHAUST GASES access the distributor shaft! :eek Or are your meds causing you to say that rather than "crankcase gases/pressure"?
British engineering baffles the stuffings outta me... :frown
I must be in the Sports Car Twilight Zone here. First I hear about "alternator caps", "exhaust coming up the distributor shaft" and now Fiats made in England? Meds please!!!!!!!!!

Well the engines are a bit loose so gases are gases ... the caps are connected by this plunge/hook configuration and when the gases surge it breaks these caps where they attach.
BTW Fiat is italian .... but England is close to Italy. :lol
The meds are quite fine .... haven't had a drink in over a year so these things are poppin my head a bit.
And I was "close" to a gorgeous blonde today:wink........But I thought "close" only counted in horse shoes:thumbsup.

Man oh man!!! Did I do poor or what? I got only 7 of them correct, so I must be MUCH younger than all of you - ESPECIALLY YOU EP! :rofl (I think that's the first time I'm happy to have a bad score!!) Never saw the Lone Ranger. I think I've heard about the Ed Sullivan show at some point in my life, but couldn't tell you what it's about. Never heard of Satchmo or Red Skeleton. :frown
