RE: New Intake install

ryan,
i have had this happen many times. if you would take your distributor out right now and try to set it back in, it would probably give you the same grief you just went through. i would say that 19 out of 20 times it will give you trouble. this is not only a problem with the fe's it is with all of the ford engines.
when your distributor is set into place, in the proper position and it only drops partway down,(1/2 inch from bottoming) put slight down pressure on the distributor with your hand and have someone very quickly bump the starter a few times, the distributor will drop right into place. if you don't have help you can do it yourself with the use of a remote starter button on the solenoid. i learned this while working in a ford dealership 30 years ago. i have done this hundreds of times and has never failed. hope this will save you from some future aggravation.
