Help- Broke off bolts holding on Distributer cap
Yes
i sprayed them with wd 40
let them sit for about 3 hours,
then went to take them off all 3 broke
when the first one broke i thought i was alright and would be able to remove the bolts with vise hoping some would be exposed behind the cap,
sure enough they broke off inside
Any ideas?
Thank you very much for your time

Screw drilling them out.
The same thing happened to me.
Use a damn needle nose plier and grab the end of the bolt where it comes through the other side (yes, it should poke through enough to grab it) and give it some rotations until you can unscrew it the same way you screwed it in.
.
I did it w/ the dizzy in the car, so it's definitely possible, but if you can't get leverage or access to the bottom bolt - simply take it off (don't forget to replace the O ring).

Same thing happened to me once, I notched it with a dremmel and used a small flathead to screw it out the other end coz there there wasnt enough thread on the other end to grab with needle nose pliers...

Weird ****, mine did and I had the regular bolts that came with it...
I replaced it with some stainless steel ones for like $.75 piece, but it was well spent IMO.
