Oil priming part 2
Finally got oil to the rockers. However, when I tried to put the distributor back in it goes in all but the last 3/8 - 1/2 in. It feels like its engaged the oil pump drive but wont go down all the way to the manifold. Did I dislocate something when I was using the oil primer tool?

Another way to do that is turn the engine until #1 is TDC, set the distributor with the rotor pointing where you want it and lightly hold it down. Then bump the engine over until it drops in.
