It's happened a few times but usually when I loosened the clamp to adjust the timing and not notice the distributor hopping out of the drive. I'm sure that the distributor shaft gear wears against the distributor housing and makes the condition worse to where the distributor drive will hop out of the slot really easy. No, the clamp is fine, just don't loosen the clamp part without knowing what the spring is going to do. To retime the distributor, you may be able to remove the cap and twist the rotor until it reseats into the drive. Just don't twist the distributor housing when reseating. If it doesn't start, it may be out 180 degrees. It's easier to move the ignition wires on the cap 180 degrees than to pull the distributor back out and reseat it. Once it starts easily and runs ok step back and don't touch it!!! Dan
