    Is the cap adapter and cap SUPPOSED to sit so loosely on these things.....mine seems to just wobble about. Maybe I should try and bend the lil' spring clamps for more clamping pressure. It seems like it should be more stable to me. What gives?

    it should be a tight fit... the more it moves, the more chances of a miss fire you will have.. espcially when you are driving it at 4000 rpms
