Thanks for the info from the factory lit. on tuning differences.

The number 4 in my pic refers to a Distributor Catalog figure, it's not part of the p/n. The pic below shows the different covers and the two types of distributors. The distributor on the right goes with "A" cover, having the lower support bushing. 2nd pic shows how to identify the bushing type from the front. Last pic shows the two pointer locations.
You can use any of covers B, C, D with your distributor (cast iron or aluminum).
