There is a plate that clamps to the base of the distributor that you must be missing. It clamps around the distributor on the edge of that ring and there is an adjustment slot that holds the works in via a small nut/stud on the oil pump housing. Once the car is running right that clamp should not be touched under pain of whatever painful thing you can imagine. When all is running well there should be marks made on the distributor housing and clamp to show where it should be returned to if it is removed. There should also be marks between the plate and oil pump housing to show correct timing. The plate was left on the distributor and the distributor removed in order to replace/ adjust points. With new ignitions this is a thing of the past. FWIW I have a Crane optical ignition that works very well, but since Crane Cams is gone I would have a petronics as a backup. Working on a Jensen Healey distributor is not a well enjoyed experience. Dan
