Default Re: short in distributor keeps reappearing - any ideas?

Not sure if anyone mentioned this already but the lower plate in mine has a metal thing riveted to it that the condenser is screwed to and the armor cable makes contact with. Mine appears to have decaying insulation where the rivets are. Could be worth checking if you think it is shorting there.
