Distributor Bracket

[tibbsy]

Hey,

Is there a bracket between the distributor and the engine block? There are 3 threaded holes in the block where the distributor fits into the engine block, but I don't seem to have the bracket (or hardware).

Can someone post a pic? Would anyone have a spare bracket?

Cheers

Do you mean theses three holes around where the distributor drops into place?


If so there is a triangular shaped alloy plate that the distributor clamp bolts onto and the distributor can then be rotated to adjust the ignition timing.


Cheers, Mick.

Hi Mick,
My engine gasket set came with a paper and alloy triangular gasket.

I pulled my dizzy off the other day, not realising it had that triangular base, and it had the paper gasket (by 'paper', it was a normal gasket). I put it straight back on so I don't know if it had both.

The paper one does the job Billy.
I am not certain but I think the alloy one may be for the diesel engine.


Cheers, Mick.

Does anyone know the part number for this alloy plate?

I think it is part # 247672 - 'adaptor for distributor'.

I am having some issues with the plate I have. I have one with a dome underneath?. Not the plate seen in the picture. As my plate is damaged I have located another one ( same as the picture) but now my distributor will not fit? The distributor is too long it seems?

Wrong distributor or wrong bracket? Any suggestions?..
