Distributor trouble
I remove the intake to replace the leaking gaskets and no matter how much I tighten the distributor hold down bracket the distributor still turns. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?

You sure you're using the same bolt? Maybe you grabbed a longer one and it's bottomed out in the hole?

Make certain the gasket is in place at the base of the distributor and that the clamp isn't distorted or cracked.
