Default Accel HEI Coil & Distributor Bushing ???

I bought a Accel HEI Coil that has it's own cover. Can the cover be removed safely and just put the coil the cap and put the stock GM cover on? It would seem so... Also the advance weights bushings are shot, who has them besides ZIP? Does GM carry them still, if so does any body have a part #?

Yeah, the stock cover will be just fine. Any decent speed / parts shop should have new weights, busings and springs. If all else fails, try your local GM parts department.

It must be glued to the cover. I'll get it off, the coil should fit Ok. I have already got an advance kit, but it didn't have bushings. I don't want to buy another kit, I'll find the bushing...
