Thanks folks . It is an A cover . There is one thing I pointed out in one of my original post about my engine rattling and that is , I have a two piece dist . shaft and I can not pull the lower piece up ,ie it is stuck in the engine.Do you think something could be wrong with this shaft ( bent ? ) causing my problem as it relates to not being able to time the engine following model A procedure. I am about to take a 1,000 mile trip with this car so if I can identify any thing that could give me a problem I would like to fix it now. I was going to run the car as advanced as it was until I read Dream works post on the damage it can do if you run your engine to far advanced. You guys are great for taking the time to help me with this . Thanks again .
