I 2nd that. Long ago when we were young, my younger brother was in college and into cars, so changed the points in the distributor of my 69 Dodge Dart. He didn't mention that he dropped the little screw inside and didn't retrieve it. A week later, it jammed the shaft and broke the nylon drive gear (good they used plastic there). Took a while to figure that one out. My father shook the distributor and out came the screw, while my brother looked on sheepishly.
