Thomas, Dave, Rich and all,
Problem solved! It turned out, that Advanced Distributors media blasted the
shaft and the end that goes into the bore in the block was not as smooth as
it should be. We polished it and it goes in fine!..
Many thanks for all help here from all sides of the Atlantic :-)

Hi Tadek,
I encountered the same problem a few weeks ago. The solution was very
simple: I had filed the engine with oil, while the distributor was off the
engine. The oil filled the bore in the block were the end of the drive shaft
should be seated. What happened is, that when I inserted the dizzy the drive
shaft compressed the oil to a certain extend..but then finito, nada, the
dizzy would not seat completely. Solution: I sucked the oil out of the bore
with a syringe to which a piece of clear washer hose was attached. After
that all was well.
Regards
Thomas Willig
