It sounds like the end of the distributor is not seated properly inside the slot on the oil pump. Sometimes when I install a distributor, I have to raise and lower it several times until it slips in. If that doesn't work, inspect the end of the distributor shaft for burrs and use a flashlight to see if there is anything restricting the slot on the oil pump.
