If so, make sure the oil pump drive is mating. Look down the hole and see what way the drive slot is facing. With a long flat head screwdriver, align it so it will mate with the flat in the distributor drive shaft when the rotor is pointed at your mark. Another method is to drop the distributor in with the rotor pointing to your mark and bump the starter or turn the crank by hand. The engine will turn and as the distributor drive gear is mated with the cam gear, it stays in time and turns with the engine until the drive shaft aligns with the oil pump drive and the distributor drops all the way down. If this isn't what you meant, sorry to waste your time. |
