The distributor can go in 180 degrees out. Check that next.

And the shaft and the rotor don't always line up. So you have to look at the rotor relative to the drive tang and use that to line up oil pump drive.

They are a couple degrees off from one another, when I drop it in I still just use the rotor to guide where #1 goes correct?
