whoaaaaaa wrenchbender is right.. the dist should bottom out on the oil pump.. i dont remember what the drive connection is... the newer ones are just a slot..like a screwdriver slot... some were hex...some were offcentered slot,,,only go one way... if ya got the timing right then sometimes ya hafta push down a little while its cranking to get it to pickup the oil pump..inothere words it will engage the cam gear...but not on the oil pump yet... and ya cant check a gauge by blowin on it... ive tried blowin on a fuel pump tester and ya cant even blow one PSI of pressure...
