    A bit of an odd question, but does anyone know the size of the small screw that holds the condenser in place to the base of the distributor?

    My 67 Electra is running the uni-points that have the condenser attached. After winter storage, the car wouldn't start so I traced the problem to the condenser, but I'd rather just replace the condenser than the whole points... and the screw is missing from the base of the distributor. Luckily I had an old set of uni-points that I used and the car started right up, but in future, I'd rather just replace the condenser. I just need that one screw!

    Most Autoparts store should have them.

    Dorman, most likely.

    (But I don't know about Canada parts stores.)

    Even if the local parts store has it, it will be in a rack with a many other odd pieces. That's why I am asking about size so I can narrow it down or just ask for that size.

    Thanks Mike, I wasn't sure that the ones for the Chev were the same. Makes sense though. I'll see what I can find locally.
