Cheers, Howard
That's what I did. I used a post-assembly "wicking" grade Loctite on the screw and gently tightened it down until the distribute could move easily - yet with no up-and-down play. When the Loctite sets it's sufficient to hold the bolt in place yet can be undone easily. I found that the underside of the clamp was not as flat as it might have been and used a little draw filing to improve things. Years ago, for competitions, I used to bolt the distributor down at full advance; I swore that it made a difference....probably in my head.
