A blanking plate has fallen off my new distributor

Post by ben50 »

Hi,

A blanking plate has fallen off the side of my new distributor - it's only been on for about a 100 miles.

Is this important? Nor sure if I need to fix it back on somehow and if so how to go about it - does it need to be air tight?

Cheers,
