Why cant you get the rotor to point to the number one cylinder when reinstalling your distributor on your small block Chevy?

The Chevy v-8's use the distributor to drive the oil pump. If you look at the bottom of the distributor shaft you will see a straight bar that looks like the end of a large flat blade screwdriver. This blade fits into a slot in the top of the oil pump drive shaft. To get the distributor to line up on number 1, take a long screwdriver and rotate the oil pump shaft. Then drop the distributor in. You may have to do this a few times to get it lined up just right. Just remember that the distributor rotates somewhat as it goes in, due to the angled gear teeth on the distributor shaft and camshaft. So instead of lining is up and then dropping it in, watch which way the rotor turns as it drops, an turn it a few degrees in the opposite direction before you lower it in.
