 Many, many thanks Mark. For the info, pic and quick response.

As I was afraid, it appears my distributor has been welded to the clamping plate, there is no clamping bolt. I assume that a new distributor is in order as there appears to be no way to adjust the timing once I put in the Pertronix. On more careful study it appears part of the lip of the dist which sits down into the clamping plate is broken, which might account for the welding. Is the clamping bolt part of the distributor or the clamping plate? Just curious.

I have a bad feeling that a new distributor is going to be rather pricy. Am I correct in assuming that although other cars use the 25D, to get one with the proper drive dog, I’ll need to contact Delta? Or does anyone know a good rebuild resource?

Thanks again.
