I am in the middle of replacing my distributor cap and rotor, and I am not sure where to put the gasket. The only place I can see is behind the cap itself in between the cap and the orange plate, called a dust cover in my manual. There is a black ring around this plate, but it seems to be part of the plate and not a gasket at all. When I try to remove it it seems to chip. My urgency is a result of my car being in my girlfriend's dad's parking spot, and I need to be out of there before he gets home. As always, all replies are greatly appreciated.
