ragingbull Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdweninger Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I don't think you could move the gear on the cam just by putting the disty in. Try some engine assembly lube on the disty gear ... wiggle, lift, wiggle harder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
