Bubba's,
Yes, I am aware of the offset of the key and slot, it will only go on one way. If it is opposite it will not even come close to sitting into the recessed circle in the block. I visually confirmed that. Everything is very clean as it was when removed. Will use the thumb, that might help. But with the distributor that close to seating there doesn't seem to be anything wrong. The key is in the slot and there is no dirt and it comes down to a bit less than 1/16" when hand tightening the bolts. If it is in that far it would seem that it is in.
