I'm rebuilding my late 36 distributor. I replaced the top bushing without issues, the rotor fits in fine. The lower bushing gives me headaches though. I pressed in a new one, the rotor didn't fit. Way too tight, although it test fitted well before installing the bushing.

I got 2 new ones to be sure. Installed 1, same issue, too tight, the rotor hardly goes in. Took the bushing out. The 3rd one I could slip into the housing by hand...so that's no good.

Any ideas here? Thanks.
