A distributor cap window is a small(about an inch squre)access hole in the side of the cap towards the bottom.In the sixties and early seventies General Motors designed this window to ease adjustment of the ignition points.The points could actually be adjusted with the cap installed and the vehicle running with the use of a flexible screwdriver with an allen head.This was very innovative.Of course a dwell meter(which measures degrees)was essential.The distributor window fell by the wayside with the advent of electronic ignition,which requires no adjustment.
