i searched but didn't see anything. i am trying to put my distributor back in but it will only go so far. it looks like the oil rod(?) is keeping it fron going all the way in. i've tried to lift the dist. and turn the shaft a little to make them line up but it just wont go. oh btw... i had it in earlier this morning but i took it out beacuse it sounded like when i installed it was out of timing.

Use 1/4" socket on a long extension to turn the oil pump shaft. It takes a little time & effort , but it will fit.
