The last time I installed my distributor it was a complete and total pain.
I walked away, calmed myself, cooled off and drank some water.
When I returned, much later, the distributor nearly dropped in, took less t=

Anytime you are installing a distributor you should check all the fitment i=
ssues.
=C2=A0
Check that the oil pump drive shaft fits the distributor; I had one that di=

ft some so it would fit the distributor.
=C2=A0
Right now you have questions and doubts about the system so you have to go =
to basics =E2=80=93=C2=A0 disassemble and find the clip wherever it is loca=
ted.
=C2=A0
I don=E2=80=99t know the procedure Ford and the Cleveland Foundry used to i=

=C2=A0
A bit more diagnostic information
- when I run a stiff hanger wire down the side of the shaft, I do not feel =
the retaining clip that should be present
- Beveled edge does visually appear to be at the top
- There is no residue in the distributor shaft (i.e. does seem like the las=
t person in there stuck the shaft into the distributor just to get it to se=
at)
- I can get a socket on the oil pump shaft and spin it but there is zero re=
sistance, not sure if that is normal?
=C2=A0
I am a bit concerned that the shaft has come unseated from the oil pump at =
the bottom end given there does not appear to be any retaining clip & it le=
ans over against the wall of the hole it is in.
=C2=A0
Starting to wonder if I should drop the oil pan (which I believe I can do w=
ithout removing the entire engine, appreciate any input on that) and do thi=
ngs properly.

Sometimes they are just difficult...
IIRC, one time we could see the drive shaft was off to one side.=C2=A0 We
jacked the car on that side so it leaned to the other side
which made it more vertical...
Good luck,

In trying to replace the distributor after
changing my intake manifold on the =E2=80=9865 289 in my Tiger, I am
struggling to get it to slide down over the oil pump shaft,
which seems to be leaning over.
=C2=A0
- tried jiggling the rotor
=C2=A0
- tried turning the crank with a ratchet while
applying gentle pressure to the distributor, though I was doing
both
=C2=A0
- tried using a long socket & extension to put
the oil pump shaft itself in different orientations
=C2=A0
=C2=A0
My next attempts will involve

=C2=A0
- trying to pack some grease around the shaft with

Would welcome any suggestions, solutions, or words
