I ordered a Delco distributor dust cover for my Allis G (AB-186D). It doesn't fit. The inner diameter of the dust cover is about 1/32" too small. The distributor cap will not fit into the dust cover.
I may try to machine it in my lathe, hopefully without breaking it.
Has anyone else had a problem?

Don't know where you got your cover from,but I've had good luck with the echlin line from napa,not the cheap performer line.echlin part number for dust cover is, ech-rr164.dist cap is, ech-rr145.hope this helps.

I would take it back before I started machining it. Could be a simple error, but others may have the same problems if you don't let your supplier know.

looks like you purchased it from Steiner, let them know so the next guy doesn't have the same problem.

Dust Cover Update.
Machined the dust cover to a perfect fit. Good to go.
Source readily allowed a return, but not really economically practical time or dollar wise.
It all started just needing a rubber dust cover gasket. Opted for a new cover. I could have just used the gasket from the new cover, but a little machining and the new cover fits.
I am used to having parts issues. I commonly receive parts in a factory sealed box with the correct part number, but wrong part in box. I order a left and receive a right. I order a 2850 and receive a 2580. For me it's just another day.
If everyone has the same problems, the world has a problem. I hope it's just me.
