Relax...sounds like the oil pump drive shaft...

...is not aligned with the distributor. Pull the dist out and look down the hole. See the hex shaft in the middle. That's the OP drive. Use a 1/4" drive long extension with a 1/4" or 5/16" deepwell (I forget which for an FE) socket and turn the shaft ever so slightly counterclockwise and try it again. You may have to do this two or three times to get the shaft aligned enough for the dist to drop in.

Tape the socket to the extension with a piece of electrical tape for insurance that it does not come off the extension and fall into the pan.
