I am always pleased with myself when I can set the static timing on 17798 with the buzzer on my multi meter, but again I failed to tighten the clamp bolt and the distributor popped out about a mile from the house. I walked back, and the wife took me to the car armed with what I knew would be the tools I'd need. I told her I would only be a minute or two and sent her back to the house. The 12mm wrench I was sure I needed to tighten the clamp bolt, should have been 7/16ths. I was able to snug it up enough to get me home, but when will I learn that my micrometer eye is not what it used to be, or ever was. Sigh, "the Devil is in the details"
