    Does anyone know how to remove the distributor hole cover?

    Mine is leaking a bit, and I have twisted and pulled on this thing I can seem to get it to come out.

    Its part number 25

    Its located aft of your alternator and has a little bracket to hold the wires for your alternator.

    And yes some early eta's did come with a distributor, and thats where it went.

    just pry under it with a flathead, but don't get too carried away.

    I think there are 1-2 o-rings on that peice you will want to replace.

      I got it out. I had to use vise grips to pull on it while I was prying on it, but I got it out and I replaced the O ring and cleaned everything up.
