Default Re: Rotor too big for distributor shaft on Ford 8ba flathead v8

The rotor should have the same 3/8" slip fit as the shaft.
As previously stated the clip is what keeps the rotor from moving radially and snugs it up axially.

It is possible that you have the 7RA version that has a different clip arrangement but I believe that the mount shaft should still be 3/8" dia.
