TR6 Distributor help on TR6

[ichthos]

I couldn't figure out why my TR6 was running so poorly - found out the distributor was not clamped well and moving! No matter how hard I tighten the clamp though, it does not seem to hold the distributor well. What could I be doing wrong? Does someone have a pic showing how it seats/fits in the clamp? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Is the clamping plate secured to the pedestal? I believe there is one bolt holding the clamping plate down.
Have you checked the clamping bolt to make sure it's not stripped?

I don't know if this is an issue on the TR6; but on the TR3 the "pot metal" distributor body can crack where the clamp grips it, resulting in the joint being loose no matter how much you tighten the clamp.

Which clamp you trying to tighten,Kevin?

Could be too that your clamp is shot.

Well, it ended up that the screw was stripped. Thanks for your help everyone!
