pretty strange, the coach ran fine but when i bumped the distributor in the course of removing the manifold, it moved.

Underneath where the clamp should have been there is just a barely visible remnant of a broken stud.

I'm not optimistic about an EZ-out. I think i want to drill through and tap a new hole.

What's on the other side of the stud? bell housing?

If i keep a vaccum on the drilling operation can i risk a few chips going into the hole?

thanks

Dave
