The collar/clamp which is part of the vacuum advance can be installed at the wrong height. You need to loosen the long bolt which is hard to get to between the backside of the distributor and the block before you drop the distributor in so that that collar/clamp will settle into its proper place. Disregard if you never loosened that bolt while you had it out.
