Patrick..... .....ya send me walkin' to check my side mount 8N. Ooops.... loose dist cap, no dust seal, inside of distributor gots weed chafe, hummm..... could haff sworn had a dust cap in distributor..... whats going on??? First manual, Master Parts Catalog, only shows just dust seal for NAA distributor p/n FAA-12239-A, Cover Assy, distributor breaker dust. 1953 NAA. Thats what you found. hummm.....p/n 8N-12106 looks like a distributor cap but Ford calls it "Housing Assy, (distributor terminal) angle drive. Well ya never know about parts nomenclature..... Second manual, Assy Manual and Service Part Catalog shows no NAA parts at all but lists NCA-12106-A as Housing Assy, Distributor Terminal. ...BUT... it also lists p/n 8N-12261-A as Kit, Dust Seal, "details not available".....hummm.....and then 8N-12311-A, Kit, Dust Seal, used with 8N-12261-A..... okey.... Back to MPC..... MPC lists 8N-12261-A as Kit, Distributor Cover.....hummm..... But doesn't list 8N-12311-A..... . Well, lets try good ol'Don B, he has a distributor breakout parts list and pictures too. Ah-haw..... in Don's parts list..... p/n FAA-12239-A, Cover Assy, (Distributor Breaker Dust) 1950-1954. This cross checks with the Master Parts Catalog, FAA-12239-A, Cover Assy (distributor breaker dust), NAA 1953; and consists of: p/n FAB-12267-A seal, (distributor breaker cover); p/n FAA-12268-A retainer, seal (distributor breaker cover); p/n FAA-12114-A gasket (distributor breaker cover to base). Bottom line, YES, there should be a dustcover inside your sidemount distributor. Now I gotta go shoppin too..... .....Dell
