[Spridgets] Freakin' distributor

[Joe Lansing]

I cannot get my distributor (in my new engine) to stay cinched down. I got a new clamp from Moss, but that doesn't help. I can get timing set rough, then after 5 seconds of run time it slips and rotates out of time. Or, when I'm adjusting, then tightening the clamp, the distributor squirts out of the clamp - the clamp kind of falls off the shoulder of the distributor.

I'm using a 123Ignition distributor. The section of the distributor that must be clamped is chromed steel and very hard and slick. I'm about ready to try another dizzy - but will I have the same problem? If I try another dizzy I need something that doesn't require vacuum advance. I got the 123 for the electronic ignition...

Any ideas?
