Back on topic, you will find the clips are located directly oposite each other. So if you can feel/see one, look on the opposite site and it should be there.

As someone else said it may have dropped off, so it may help to take the cap right off and have a good look with a torch and get a good understanding of where it all is.

Good luck, and if you need picks i can take some when i get home.

They can fall off the little pin, so it is probably at the base of the distributor or on the bell housing.

Yeh you need to find the 2nd clip asap, i would not drive it till you do, if the Dizzy cap becomes out of wack the Rotor button will collide with the cap and smash off.
