Distributor adjust bolt size.

Post by davem201m38 »

Hi all,
Putting everything back together.
When tightening the distributor lock down bolt, it stops turning before the distributor is clamped solid.
I suspect the bolt may be too long???
Looking at diagrams I cannot find one with the bolt shown, just exploded views of the distributor.
So, what length is the distributor lock down bolt?
Thank you,
Dave.

Forget that chaps, I’ve just realised how bloody stupid I’ve been. What’s that saying about the cost of experience....
