The caps, IF you look, have a little square tang on them for alignment purposes so make sure you line them up when re installing, I cannot stress enough and it has been pointed out here a few times, MAKE DOUBLE sure you align the distributor offset key to the cam correctly. This is made easier IF you get a couple of 5/16-18 x 1" or so NC Bolts and cut the heads off of them. Screw them in the block BEFORE you attempt to put the distributor back on. THEN slide the distributor onto the studs you thread in, then you can use your thumbs on each side of the distributor to rotate the rotor and line the keyway up with the end of the cam shaft. put some light pressure against the distributor and rotate the rotor and you will feel it click in!!! ONCE you feel it click in, you can try and move the rotor and it should NOT turn!!! THEN you remove one stud at a time and replace with the correct bolt.
AS a third check, once I have it installed and before I re-intall the caps, I put the car in first and have someone rock the car back and forth and watch the rotor (or put your finger in there and feel), you should see (or feel) it move back and forth, then I know 100% its on and lined up correctly BEFORE I try and fire it up!!!! Then re-install the caps!!!! BELIEVE me you don't what to try and start the car and hear a loud "crack"!!!!
