..but it works--I see many distributor caps held on that way on cars & trucks that come into my friends shop for tune ups!....................................................................................................I busted a cap screw off in the 93 Caravan's 3.0 I drive a few years ago.......I was able to drill it out,but due to the lack of room for the drill,the bit skidded off the bolt and I ended up with a half a bolt and a hole slightly off center in the distributor housing...I was able to enlarge the hole in the cap and use a self tapping screw to hold the cap on--my friend tells me I should have put the old cap back on to use as a drill guide--it had a brass insert in the plastic,that would have let me not go off center probably..
..now he tells me.......................................................................................................I tried using vise grips on the shank of the screw,that was barely sticking up above the housing,and all it did was chew it away,until nothing was left for them to grip--then I had no choice but to drill it....if I had access to a MIG welder,I could have plopped a 3/16" nut over the busted screw's shank,and welded the nut to it,then it would probably have came right out................
