I just got finished putting a carb intake with the tbi adapter on my 305 and the distributor doesnt fit in the hole on the carbed intake , is there anything I can do to fix thisproblem, any help would be awsome.

 

The distributor has to engage the oil pump drive shaft as it meshes w/ the cam gear.
I know the early 90s caprice tbi engines had a different distributor & hole.

 

I take a slotted screwdriver and turn it to the proper point to make the distributor shaft drop into it

 

Well I got the dist to drop but its about 1/4 too long and the stopping point on it is too big to fit in the hole in the back of the intake.

 

Put the dist. in a vise, knock the roll pin out & pull off the gear. Then see if you can seat the dist. in the hole.
Take a picture of the hole if you can.

 

Ok ill try it

 

Just out of curiosity what should I be looking for.

 

you should be looking to see if the main body of the distributor is going to fit in the hole in the intake. if im not mistaken there are 2 different size distributors and also 3 different size shafts. somebody will correct me if im wrong.
if this is something you have jumped into without the knowledge to do it you need to stop what your doing and research. you can destroy your engine if you screw up the right way.

 

The ring on the dist is too big there is about 1/4 inch difference between the carb intake and tbi intake .
