Hi All,
I'm sorry it's come to this...I've been able to fix most all my previous problems by staying off the boards and searching old threads, but I'm stuck.
I've done some recent work on my 8n (replacing piston rings) and am getting it all back together and have run into a snag. I've got cylinder 1 at TDC and my timing mark at 0deg. I'm trying to drop the distributor back in but it hits a certain point and won't go in any further. It feels like the gears start to engage and you can see the rotor start to turn a little bit, but it won't seat that last 1/4" or so. I've messed around with it the last couple nights for about an hour or so each. I've read they can be tricky and you just have to keep pulling them up and turning them a little until they drop back in, but it doesn't seem to be working.
I don't know if I'm missing something, or if it's a bigger issue.
Thanks in advance,
Justen
