262 distributor
I am in final assembly of my 5 year project and installed the distributor last night. My question is: When i installed it it does not seem to seat all the way down. There is a lip in it that I feel needs to seat to the block but it is about a 1/4" above the block. Is this right?

Is the 262c.i. the '61-'63 engine where it's mounted on the Timing Gear cover or the '64-'65 where it's mounted the same as the 223c.i.? 
No matter what, you still need to get it seated all the way down, the former will just be a Tick easier to do than the former is all.

It is mounted like the 223. It has seated in the oil pump, maybe not all the way. Last year I remember just dropping it in and think it seated all the way to the bottom. Now I have turned the motor completely over and it is srill not dropping in. I measured the opening and the flange on the distributor and they are the same size. Tells me it is a press fit. Should it be nessesary to tap it in?

I took a break from the project (wife was out off work, $$$) got back into it and this is what I experienced the other day. I am going to be on the project this weekend (i'm self employed and never get to take time off) I am finally taking the weekend off to work on her and watch the Redskins game. I have another distributor I may try.
