It's easier to notice the offset on the 'male' end at the bottom of the distrbutor shaft than 'female' end at the top of the oil pump. There should definitely be an offset.
You basically have to get the pump installed so the distributor rotor is pointing to the ignition path/sparkplug for the #1 cylinder. (The cylinder should be set more-or-less at top-dead-center of the compression stroke.) If you install the oil pump and the rotor is not pointing to the contact for the #1 cylinder, turn the oil pump 180 degrees and then see how things line up.
The distributor should be lined up pretty close to what is shown in the picture.
M-Man...that was the best summary of oil pump installation I've seen so far.
Seems like this topic comes up frequently. Can anybody make a sketch/drawing that would summarize how to install the pump correctly without the installation tool? IT would be handy to have a document like this to put in the Research&Info section.
