Coil ignition - Plastic part broken

caymanMember

Hello Guys
this is an easy one

Just look at this picture and you will see that I have a broken plastic part on the ignition coil

Can I just glue it back and go like that ? I ask this question because i don't know if it's good to put glue here because of temperature and electricity

Anyway I know I should replace it but do you have a reference to give to me ?
I know we can find it easily on Panteras by wilkinson or pim but I'd like to find it in a shop in France so I need a reference...

Thanks for your help, one more time

That is not the coil. It is the rotor and is not stock ford. It is an aftermarket distributor and looks to use a GM style rotor. Is the distributor an MSD? I think a rotor from any 70-80's GM V8 may fit.
Good luck

...If it were Me, I would just glue the piece of Plastic back in place, using 'Super Glue', and forget about it!!...

Ok guys thanks for you participation

Sorry If I was wrong, I'm french so it's pretty hard to find the good name for parts !

I'll glue it and see if the little piece of metal (I think it's brass) is tight enough

That distributor rotor looks to be a 52 series.

It has been used in MANY different cars (American Motors, Chrysler, Jeep, GM, Studebaker). It should be very easy to find, even in France.

PART NUMBERS: Standard Motor Products #DR311, ACDELCO D426R, BWD 138Z, Duralast DR969 and DR-169, Echlin ECH RR1670 (heavy duty one).

Just order a Distributor Rotor for a 1957-1974 small block V8 Chevrolet.

If you are looking for a superior replacement, the MSD 84673 'Race Rotor" is the way to go.

Your are very good !
To be precise it's a street billet 52202, I just looked on my cat for the reference.
I'll try to find it in France
The glue doesn't work.

Thanks for your help
Is it easy to replace and is there anything to set once it's on ?

Very easy to replace. Remove the mounting screws, lift it off. Put new one into place & replace screws. Then you are good to go.

The Rotor only goes on one way. If you notice on your old rotor there is a square symbol by one of the screws and a circle by the other screw. These correspond with the locating posts located on the backside of the rotor (you'll see them when you lift the rotor off).
