In all early coill engined Austin Sevens there is no screw that fits between the 'bushing' on the Austin 7 distributor (by this do you mean into the groove on the distributor shaft housing ?)
The spare parts books show all Austin Seven distributors held in place by a clamp plate until the November 1936 book which shows this new method of holding the distributor in place.
Your car must be fitted with a late dynamo/distributor assembly.
