Default electronic ignition shield

I have a 427 tri power that has been converted to electronic ignition, would it be possible to make a stock ignition shield fit?

if you use radio suppression or spiral core sp wires you should not need shielding

dunno what kinda ign you have now ... you don't Specify ... but ...
if you have a GM type HEI electronic distributor (with coil in cap) ... get a box & lid for '75 thru '77 ... you can probably bend your old brackets or get em for 75-77

It is possible to modify the stock shielding to fit over the HEI dist. but you can't hide the cap. You will need to cut the shielding, so to do it is expensive and not reversible. You will be able to see the cap from the front and back.

Hmmmm,

I installed a HEI dizzy on my small block and can slide the stock shielding box and cover over it.

No cutting, hammering, etc, etc.


No picture at this time though.
