Default 1982 corvette distributor cover - help!

i have an 82 corvette collectors edition with about 20000 miles and im doing some upgrades to it right now. one thing i want to do is put a better coil in there, but i need to know 1 - will a new coil fit under the stock coil cover? and 2 - how do you get the plastic distributor cover off? i dont see anywhere it attatches but i dont want to start tugging on it as im getting this car judged at bloomington next year and dont wanna break anything and the shop manual doesnt seem to say anything about it. if anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

We have a real good picture of this on our web site, I've pasted it below. At the link it will tell you how to remove the shield. http://willcoxcorvette.com/product_i...ducts_id=25602



This and other pages like it are all part of the Assembly instruction manual on Cd which is available at this link. http://willcoxcorvette.com/product_i...ducts_id=25589 This is the best book you can get for your car.
