How to misalign a distributor

[BarrMark262@aol.com]

Hi List: I found a quick way to know if you have the distributor 180 degrees 
wrong; it w'ont seat completely. 
I thought I had mine right, after removing so I could get the starter out, 
but I noticed it just did not want to seat against the block. Only about a 
quarter inch out, but not right.
So, I did something right instead of forcing it home, I pulled it out a 
little, and turned the rotor half way around and bingo, it slid right up 
against 
the block.

Thanks
Dennis
