Default Found this bolt lying on top of my tranny! (PICS)

Uh... Found it just lying there. Luckily I scooped it up. It has orange paint on top of it and has a philips head on it. Where does it go?

That's a distibutor bolt. Just check the other bolts if they were loose. You're best bet really is to just check timing. It's the camera that adds 5-10 lbs, that's why the bolt looks so fat.

Yep, everyone who said Dizzy was right on the money. It was the bolt on the left.

The top one was tight and the bottom right was also loose. Thank goodness!
