Oil Leaking around Distributor
I’m on the 2nd distributor gasket as I’m trying to get the distributor to stop leaking oil. I imagine it probably has something to do with the copper octane adjuster just not laying flat against the block & distributor. However it hasn’t mattered how much I tighten it, it just keeps leaking. The gasket I’ve been using is a cork rubber one from Cooper, is this the best option as far as gaskets go?
Hopefully someone has been down this road before & can shed some light on a solution.

Clifford used to sell 2 rubber o rings to replace the gasket.

What happened to the rest of the octane selector? It doesn't appear to be holding the distributor down.

It’s just hidden underneath....
