Re: [DML] Delorean start issue

I sent a response to this, but it never made it though.  I had a link in it, so I bet it got dumped in the spam bucket..

Either way, I think Bill explained what I was talking about..  There are 2 screws that hold a bracket between the mixture unit and intake.  Remove those 2, and you get enough movement to get the distributor cap out.
