Title: 123 ignition loose hold down clips
Post by: dakman29 on September 29, 2018, 17:07:45

I have a 123 electronic ignition in my car (68 280 sl).  I find that the hold down clips do not fasten tightly to the cap.  Just wanted to know if anyone else experienced this issue and is there a recommended fix.  For the time being I've just put some putty in the area on the cap where the clip fastens.  Not a very elegant fix, however.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Yes, similar issue, I wrote about it some time ago - the spring clips went lose. I bent them back so that they fit. You can do it with your fingers without taking the cap out, which is not good...they are too soft.

Yes as Pawel writes. Add/bend more of an arch into them.
