Hello
I just got back from the GOF Central in Delevan, Wis. Fantastic! 145 cars
and over 100 T Series. 483 miles without a major hitch on top of a 200-mile
trip to Elkhart Lake the previous weekend.
One old problem resurfaced twice. The little screws that hold the "condensor
plate" down in the distributor loosen up. I had this problem in the spring,
then not again until this trip, but twice on this trip.
A restorer suggested that the holes the screws go into are longer than the
screws themselves. Thgus, there are good treads at the bottom and if you could
get a longer screw of exactly the same tread pattern the holes would be "good
for another 50 years." Another MG'er suggested just a drop of Loc-Tite on each
screw. Another suggested self-tapping screws of "about" the same size (which
sounded hit-or-miss to me).
Has anyone dealt with this problem and come up with a fix?
