I see, that's quite the set up, and I understand the need for a ground wire. I thought it was like a newer one where the two bolts pulled down a plate that clamped the distributor in place. Happy to have the Delco system on my car.

The Autolite distributor has only round holes where it attaches to the block so no adjustment there. The adjustment is done where I indicated. Although I just recently got the one back in my 1951 Henney-Packard’s 327, I’ve not yet gotten far enough along to need to adjust it, I don’t recall any place else where it can be adjusted as the whole distributor rotates with the vacuum advance so does not otherwise tighten which is why it needs the ground wire.
