There's this info @ vanpelts But you might want to have it gone through @ Bubba's.

Installation is pretty easy, just make certain the key is aligned properly before you tighten or else you'll break off one of the tabs and that in no-bueno.

It is aluminum. I don't see a spacer between cover and distributor
