matclark -> distributor cap bolts stripped (7/2/2008 8:22:36 PM)
i have a 94 s-10 blazer 4.3L,,,,,when i replaced the dist. cap, the bolts stripped the threads out of the dist.....i have tried the old bolts and they just keep spinning. any ideas on how to fix this? i would really prefer not to buy/replace the distributor for such a small problem...i have never had this happen to me on any other car i have owned or worked on.....please help !!!

where the bolts go in is it plastic or metal? if plastic you might try a screw thats a little bit bigger, if metal maybe some JB weld might do the trick.

If I were you, I''d try to find a junk-yard distributor to swap in. To fix it, you''ll likely have to remove it. I''d just rather find a good core to swap in and be done with it.
