Trouble putting in a new distributor..


Recommended Posts

Hey there, so the new distributor I got (A1 Cardone) won't go in all the way. It sticks up about half an inch from the engine block where you screw it down. I can feel it slide into the teeth at the bottom of the shaft but it stops there. I wiggled it around a bit being careful not to turn any gears but no dice... The old distributor goes back in no problem. I compared the two and they look identical. All markings used to guide were bang on.

 

I think some more play with the gears may be needed but I'm not sure how much I can do that without throwing the timing off.. Or there's something wrong with the part?

 

Any thoughts gents?
