Yes, get some pictures of both distributors especially with both of them side by side for comparison.
Also take some pictures down the hole for the distributor of the gear.
If they are too big to post, first open them up in PAINT
Then RESIZE to 40%
Then SAVE AS or SAVE them into a file (I like to rename the "modified" ones).
Then go to the GO ADVANCED button
Click on the paper clip.
Pick all pictures that you need to load/post and then click UPLOAD
After upload is complete, click the x on the top right of the box to close it.
Then click the paper clip again and choose which file to load one at a time, or load all at once.
That's it....
Your distributor gear may not be fully seated, or maybe someone gave you the wrong distributor when you bought the motor/parts.
A big block distributor spins in the reverse direction than the small block, so the vacuum advance pod is reversed from the small block one. Easy to tell in a picture.
Both big block and small block distributors have "slots" at the bottom of the shaft and no gears attached to the shaft. They are easily told apart by the vacuum advance pod direction.
Slant 6 distributors have a gear attached to the shaft.
