I am a bit ashamed I need to ask this but how exactly do you use the acorns and the little brass disc with the hole and slit in it when attaching leads to the distributor?
Obviously the central core goes through the hole in the disc but then what? Are you meant to fold the core back and somehow catch it with the slit? Or is the slit just there to provide a step to catch the wire as you tighten the acorn down, a bit like a split lock washer?
Whatever way it goes there doesn't seem to be any cable strain relief at all. It's all just held by that central conductor.
