Default Chrome Distributor Cover Question

Will the chrome cover from the early 70's fit on an '80 model? A friend of mine with a mid-year found a cover and accessories that he's willing to give me. Would love to put it on my car if it will fit. Anyone know?

Sorry to give you bad news but probably not. The early 70s cars from 74 and earlier used the small points type distributor. From 75 on they used an HEI distributor which is quite a bit bigger. I don't think your HEI will fit inside the small shielding. :(
