Hi. I am in the process of re-assembling my 261 after getting it back from the machine shop. I dropped in a new distributor from Tom Langdon and it appears that I have the same problem with the distributor shoulder not meeting up with the machined surface of the engine block (i.e. there is a 1/4" gap from getting the distributor fully seated). I have not putzed with it yet, but dread the thought of dropping the oil pan to see how the oil pump was installed by the machine shop. Any recommendations?

Thanks!
Dan M.
