 Been trying to get my distributor put in and it's been a struggle. I thought I finally got it in but now see a set screw looking thing up against the distributor gear. It's facing the lifter on the eighth cylinder I think. What is it and why is it interfering with the distributor gear? Can I just screw it in further or is it supposed to be there? I tried gently turning the engine around a bit but it is not moving.

Read mjs reply again. He found a plug at his local hardware store he was able and solved the issue with. Might need to look around for the right plug like some auto part stores have a good supply of these type fittings or a plumbing supply etc.. One thing not to do is get metal debris in the oil galley or anywhere else. If your mechanic has shorter ones then that may solve the problem...........
