Distributor won't come out.

'94 302 with a points distributor. The distributor comes up about 3/8" then hits something inside the engine. No matter what I do, something's blocking it from coming out any further. When I installed it, it went in just fine. It's been driven about 30 miles. Any ideas?

sounds like the oil pump drive shaft is hung
and the little washer on the shaft is hitting the
block the way it is designed to
may have to use some force
