I'm assuming you know for sure that the distrib shaft will turn freely when out. It almost sounds like the wrong gear for the engine, or the distrib isn't in all the way.
the gear on my dist keeps breaking every time i install a new one the cam gears are good need help and sug. help
If you have a 300 I-6 here is the correct dizzy gear with Ford & Motorcraft part numbers. The Motorcraft number can be crossed over by NAPA, that way you can verify whether the gears you keep stripping have the correct number of teeth.
C5TZ-12390-A .. Dizzy Gear (Motorcraft DZ-383)
67555-S .. Roll Pin, Gear to Distributor Shaft 1/8" x 13/16"
Please when asking questions, list the engine size / transmission type.
