Do you have the ability to set your engine on T.D.C. {Top Dead Center } ? I would do that & take dist. back out , make sure it's pointing to # 1 on the dist. cap & put dist. back in. The rotor has to be posistioned a little bit away from # 1 on cap , 'cause it will turn a little when you put it in due to the angle on the gears. Make sure it goes toward # 1 on cap when re-installing.
