Got a new distributor from summit, Is it "normal" that you need some force to install it? I lined up the oilpump etc and the distributor falls in to place, but to get it fully down, ( the last 3mm ) i need to twist it left and right aswell as apply some pressure. Now it seals perfect against the intake. And I have tried to rotate the engine by hand, and no strange sound or anything seems to grind. I never done this before, and I just follow info from the net aswell as my service manual. I even reinstall the unit twice to be sure. And every time it needed the extra "push" to seal against the intake.
Car is a -91 corvette with a converted lt1 intake. So i use the small cap camaro distributor.

Thanks

 

Sometimes they're like that; they fit kind of tight to the hole in the block that's right above the distributor gear.

If it went in all the way to the intake though, it's fine.

 

thanks m8. I guess im fine
