Hi,
I have a question about replacing the distributor vacuum advance pipe. As you know, the pipe is help in place with a clamp/bracket that is attached by a head stud nut. I am concerned that removing a head stud nut to replace the pipe could initiate a head gasket leak; and I should not tempt fate and find another way to attach the pipe.
Is this a groundless fear? Is it OK to remove the nut for line replacement, and then re-torque the nut?
Thanks.
Regards, Bill
