    Broken distributor bolt.

    Hello All;

    I snapped off one of the three bolts that are holding down my distributor cap and bolt into the aluminum casing. The fact that it is now broken, what is the best way to remove it and is it necessary to do it now that it done?

    I know that I will have to deal with it when I have to remove the cap, but until then, will I have any issues while it is together with the two bolts and the third missing it's head?

    Thanks;

    Brian
