     I'm in the process of putting things back onto my engine after a 
rebuild and am running into a problem when I install the distributor.   
I bolted the clamping ring onto the pedestal with hex head cap bolts, 
plain washers and lock washers, as shown in the TRF catalog.  When I 
then slide the distributor in( retard unit facing almost straight back) 
the casting bulge where the tach drive is located hits the front bolt 
before fully seating.  Am I using the wrong hardware, or am I doing 
something else wrong.  I had to replace the clamp and bolts because the 
knuckle head engine builder lost them, or I would know what is correct.  
Thanks for any advice.
