Latest cundrum
Got engine in. 73 302. I used the long bar that is suppose to drive the oil pump shaft, pre oil but when I attach the 2 items together, it's long long enough to engage. Now I have not measured yet the heck shaft yo make sure it's the right length but due to the umbrella thing on next shaft it just does not go down far enough to engage. Any ideas...maybe I have therong size, still have to messure that.

So I didn't do that then my only alternative is to take off the umbrella and just put the shaft in the hole...I just will or possibly never pull distributor or I have the chance of losing driveshaft into oil pan like I've heard a ton of people talking about...is that the situation im in?
