Geez Frank, you dug really deep to bring this one out!!

I tend to have the best luck installing the Distributor Set-screw first sans the Lock Nut. Twist the set-screw backwards while pushing against the threads to make sure you are straight, and then begin turning the screw inward. On the off-chance your cylinder head threads are bad, try using a thread chaser or bottoming tap in the hole to clear the threads.
