    Fuel distributor screw

    Hi guys! New owner still learning about his car. I have a screw that stands very proud of the fuel distributor. It appears to be a screw that holds the distributor in place, but I’m not sure. I’m tempted to just screw it in but with my luck it’s a fuel metering adjusting screw or some other “don’t touch” screw. Any help is appreciated, thank you.FA957D4A-DB12-46E9-B074-484249FA489B.jpg

    That's someone's idea of a plug. The adjustment is under the plug. Probably not very air tight and probably not very secure. You can get universal rubber plugs at an auto parts store or use a more appropiate sized screw with electrical tape or heat shrink around it.

    Weird. Plugging what? What should be there?

    Never mind. I read your response before you edited it. Thanks for the help.

    Or get the real plug, assuming the hole isn't drilled out.

    or for the more correct:

    Make sure it isnt drilled out, there is a plug i believe josh linked youc an buy super cheap that goes there. if not you will have a vacuum leak. My car was missing it one day( or never had it) so i put a new one in. I also had this question at one point when i first got my car lol

    Thanks everyone. The car runs fine so I’m reluctant to mess with it. I guess at the very least I’ll make sure that screw is secure while I look locally for a plug that will fit.
