Need GM # for TPI Distributor Cover Screws

Hey Guys,

Just noticed that my wonderful

mechanic lost the screws that hold on the TPI cover over the distributor.

Anyone know the thread pattern or even better the part # for these?

Thanks!

Re: Need GM # for TPI Distributor Cover Screws

I believe the aluminum cover takes different screw than the plastic cover. The head of the plastic screw is to wide for the aluminum cover. However double check that because it has been awhile since I have been down that road.

Re: Need GM # for TPI Distributor Cover Screws

Look at the link:

http://www.geocities.com/vipervenemg...nds.html?20086

This guy states that the screw part # originally noted above by w/t1500 is for the aluminum cover.

If they are differrent maybe somebody is off here????

Re: Need GM # for TPI Distributor Cover Screws

The link confirms what I remember. The plastic screws are to wide to use on the aluminum.

Re: Need GM # for TPI Distributor Cover Screws

My EPC says 14083852 for the plastic extension (I looked up a 91 pontiac w/ an L98) and 14082425 for the metal version as looked up under a 91 'vette.
Both list @ 4.25 through GM.

So w/t1500 need to be whipped with a wet noodle!

Part number for plastic cover is actually 14083852.

Thanks!

Think I will get the metal cover and new screws.

Re: Need GM # for TPI Distributor Cover Screws

no prob, glad i could help someone (finally). TPIParts is a great company, and I have bought A LOT of stuff from them. Even if it is something they dont have listed on the site, call them up cuz they might just have it.
