I'm happy to say that the distributor is now in place fully seated and rotor pointing to the same spot that I marked before I pulled it. I learned that it takes several attempts to get it to seat and even more attempts to get it to seat with the rotor in the right spot. You guys are right about when the gears engage it will turn the rotor some (clockwise). I'd like to say that I lead the rotor to the correct spot, but I think I just got lucky. The whole process is a little frustrating because you can't see any of these things that you're trying to get to fit together. I'll be back at it this weekend putting some things back together (removed AC compressor to access distributor) and trying to get it to start up. Thanks for everything you guys have helped a lot.
