1965 sb ignition shield in rough condition
I am looking to buy a distributor shield for a 1965 small block. It can be in rough condition because I am going to paint it. I have blacked out all the chrome on my 65 and all I need is the distributor shield. I have headers so I don't want the lower shields.

I couldn't figure out how to send a picture in PMs so I'm putting them here.
The one for sale - it turns out it is a late 1963 style - I looked it up, but it fits a 1965. The difference is three metal rivets on the top instead of two or plastic rivets. The throttle relief has some small bending by a prior owner.
You may see my new one in the background.
This is the back side. My new one is in the background.
This is a closeup of the area around the throttle opening that is a bit bent up. It could easily be bent back by someone with care and skill - or cut out.
I hope this helps. Now I'll go back to PMs
