OK, the engine is back in the car and I'm in the process of reattaching all of the peripherals. I'm kinda struggling with the distributor. When you look down through the intake and into the block you see the pin from the oil pump/camshaft. The female part of the distributor receives the pin, but the pin's off center and I can't stab it. It wobbles with a long screwdriver, but won't stay centered so I can get the distributor down. Haven't tried putting some grease on the distributor end or on the pin to center it. Any ideas here? I've done this before on this car and several times on my 'Vettes, but this wobbling pin is makin' me nuts. Thanx. steve
