That's a good observation, Hemi, but the screw has 2 ground lugs and the distributor uses the one on opposite side. The coil assy must have multiple applications?
Edit #2: I have wondered about adding a ground strap between the coil's baseplate and the breaker plate. Thoughts?
Edit #1: You might also notice 2 different distributors in the pictures. The older looking one is from my big block engine...that's the blue cap I sacrificed and cut holes in. I'm also using it to snap pictures showing positions of the rotor and reluctor while the Cardone remains installed on engine.
