You just saved me the cost of a new distributor. I was in a rush and should have stopped. I knew I was cross threading. Thanks!
Very happy to hear my video helped you. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Good to know that it's a common problem. Here I was thinking I messed up.
Very problematic design and easy to damage. I stumbled upon this fix and had to share it. Thanks for watching and the positive feedback. I really appreciate it.
EXCELLENT EXPLANATION ! THANK YOU !
You are very welcome. Glad you liked the video. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for your video , I saved 200 dlls
Glad to see my video helped you. It's an easy fix for a common problem. I appreciate your positive feedback. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Man, thank you so so very much. I just broke one of the ears off of mine yesterday! I was frustrated and didn’t want to buy a new distributor! You’re a lifesaver! Again thanks and by the way, you just got a new subscriber!!!
I ran into that part working on my dad's truck. Saved him some money, so I had to share. Thanks for watching subscribing and commenting. Let me know what you think of my other videos.
Dude, you just saved me a ton of time and headaches! Last owner of my truck had stripped these out and they were just kinda hanging in there by luck. I think he may have used caulk or the like to get them to stay relatively tight. This is a much better fix that is permanent. Thank you so much & keep up the good work!
Thanks for the great feedback. It makes me happy when I see a video of mine help people. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Good video man my screws just stripped today. I was like now I have to do some homework lol.
Very common for those screws to strip or break. Were you able to get it fixed without replacing the distributor? Keep me posted. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@shanersmechaniclife3164 I know I use to have 15 years ago so I know but back then we had to change the whole distributor cause the tab broke off. Buy for my 99 they have a solution. Good video bro
I could have saved a lot if I knew that bracket was out there. What about brand new distributor rotor cross threaded screw holes? Right out of the box, a bad factory srew hole tap job left me with a useless distributor. A quick fix was a self taping screw was installed but ugly. Any thoughts?
I was happy to find that bracket as well. I was doing a no start on my dad's blazer when I ran into the cap screw issues. As far as the rotor screws, not much you can do short of replacement. Thanks for watching and commenting.
How to unclog the air vent holes? is the screen closer to the top or the bottom of the holes and is it okay to just drill through the screen to open it up and leave it like that?
I find a quick shot of brake clean does the trick. Just make sure it evaporates before you try to start it.
Does this work if the distributor is plastic? Yours is metal.
Does this cause a gap, and the distributor won't seat properly?
This works for plastic distributors as well. It does not cause a gap. The plate sandwiches the distributor body between it and the cap. Thanks for watching and commenting.
How do I buy one? I don't have an Amazon account.
Dorman is a fairly well known company. Any parts place should be able to bring it in for you. Hope it works for you. Keep me posted and thanks for watching.
