MSD Dist Cap install?

[ETO]

Hi i have a civic and i installed the Cap yesterday and i just want to be sure ive done it correctly... ive wired up everything right the only question i have is that in the center of the distributer there is a small plastic piece... now when i put this cap on it do i keep that plastic piece or not.. thanks...

are you installing a after market ignition? well, if you are, you gotta take the rotor off, and the dust cover, then take out the coil, and connect the wires from you ignition to those wires. thats why the external coil cap has that drilled hole, so u can run the wires through. To take the rotor off, i've found it easieast if you take off the whole distributor, most of the time its just a phillips screw.. then after u do all that, just pop ur new external coil dist. cap back on, and ur all set. dont forget the new seal they give you. hope this helps.

The circle plastic thing im talking about hold the platic cover in place ... when i put the new msd dist cap on and wired everything up i put that circle plastic thing back on but i left the cover off... when i say circle plastic thing its held by one screw...

thats the rotor, you must have that thing back on... it only goes back on one way..
