You do need to use a screw inside the distributor body to attach the condenser to the lower plate. Without that electrical connection, you will probably get no spark.

There is a hole on the side of the distributor where the screw can be attached and fastened. It can be tricky to do - I use a screwdriver with an expanding blade to hold the screw onto the screwdriver long enough to get the screw started. The screw fastens into the threaded brass nipple on the end of the condenser.

Good luck !
