I put the distributor in my rebuilt 235 today & turned it counter clock wise till it ran smooth. When I tried to put the bolt in the hole was covered by the base of the distributor. I let it run a few mins & quit for the day. It is hot in east Texas. What do I need to do next ? I read a lot of the post & thought had cil # 1 up.

Thanks,Kelly

You could rewire it 1 plug advanced or retarded and spin the distributer so it will lock down. its pretty forgiving. The distributer doesn't care so much about positioning, as long as the spark is reaching the number 1 plug at the right time.
