You can turn the bolt on the front of the crankshaft that holds the harmonic balancer on. 3/4 socket I believe. It helps to take out some or all spark plugs.
Thanks. When I drop the distrubutor in I can tell the gears are matched but there is a 1/2 inch gap between the base of the distributor and the intake. What am I doing wrong?

What about if you've removed the harmonic balancer and don't have that bolt anymore

It's probably not mating with the oil pump shaft. Make sure they line up using a flashlight and a long flathead screw driver.
