I am changing the distributor cap and rotor on my 1995 gm...

Thank you for taking the time to let us help you out with this problem and hopefully we can sort it out quickly.

Sometimes it may take a moment for me to respond because I may have to look up information about your concern. I appreciate your patience and will provide responses as soon as possible. You have the wrong cap and distributor. This year had a split production with and without OBD2. You can't use the old style distributor with the newer style [engine](/topics-engine-chevy/). You'll need to use the style with the horizontal type cap or it won't work. My goal is to give you the best service possible and to help you.

Awesome

I'm glad to help.

what exactly does my new rotor go on?

This is what I’m currently looking at

It should screw onto this plate. There's two mounting holes.

This is the new “rotor”. I could be mistaken as this is my first time changing a cap and rotor

Yes that is for the old style. The new rotor should be flat and look exactly like your old rotor.

I received the wrong part.. I got the combo from Autozone. Part #DR2012G

Yes you have the wrong part.

It should look something like this.

Awesome. Gotta love AutozoneWill that work with the new vertical cap I have?

No. You have to get the correct cap also.

the 95 won’t accept the vertical cap. Horizontal only?

On yours, no. 95 was a split year. Some had the vertical cap and some had the horizontal cap.

Gotcha. Thanks for your help.

You're very welcome.

The old cap doesn’t seem to want to line up.

Is this the correct position?

It will only go on one way. The tab on the bottom of it has to go into the slot on the metal part.

Got it. Thanks

You're very welcome.
