What purpose, if any, does the plastic collar on the distributor clutch plate serve? Will removing it cause more problems, or make it run better?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">This will also happen if your carriage rollers are not adjusted correctly. If so, the carriage won't be parallel to the trip tube thus lifting/lowering it and f***ing with the trip stop which in turn can cause the problem you are describing.
If this is not the case, you can always take a pair of channel locks and bend the trip stop bracket so that the trip stop doesn't drag on the plastic piece on the clutch.
You either love them or you hate them. Even though I’ve slowed down my PW’s I still love them. If a pin pauses at the O-pan & the pins get too close together, the plastic cam on the clutch plate will give the dist a chance to index before it lets go of the pin.
This is the same reason that I don’t like a dist belt that is too “grippy”. The belt will push the pin over the trip arms before the dist can fully index, usually causing a “double feed”.
