I replaced the distributor cap on my twin 4.3 motors and on my starboard engine apparently who had ever replaced the distributor last over tighten the screw and cracked the mounting bracket. When I went to remove one of the two mounting screws, I found it was missing. I was able to use zip ties to secure it but I am now afraid that I am going to have to replace the distributor to fix this problem. I have no idea why Mercruiser would have used a plastic base on this distributor. Has anyone come up with any kind of solution to fix this other than a distributor replacement?
