Problem: SBC Dist Install

[budnate]

It may feal like its hitting shaft corectly?? after you have it in, roll the motor over a little usually after the dist rotates about halfway around everything lines up and it will drop all the way in, then bring around to TDC again and make sure you are not off a tooth on the cam in relation to your fireing order.

Usually you can pull the dist up just enough to free the dist cam gear and rotate it a bit then drop it. Do it a few time and usually it will drop , giving you a idea which way to turn the oil pump with the screwdriver.
