- Sun Oct 09, 2011 10:17 pm #276945 OK so I was just doing a little tune up on my hatch and broke one of the distributor cap bolts. wondering if anyone else has had this happen and what the best fix is for it? Drill and re tap? New dizzy?

- Thu Oct 20, 2011 8:08 pm #278463 Honestly, if it's just one of the three bolts on the cap that broke, don't even sweat it man. Nothing is gonna get in there. Just make sure the others are decently tight. Just not too tight, don't want to break those other bolts.

I race naked for weight reduction.

There is alot of different techniques to remove them
