Rebuilding 351 C. Going to install the distributor, and low and behold it won't go all the way in with the oil pump shaft in. With it out dist goes in easily. If you haven't guessed, yes I SHOULD have put it in with the oil pump. Question is will everybody be happy without the ring on the oil pump shaft? Or do I have to raise engine, take out oil pan, take out oil pump, and then put it all back together. I REALLY do not want to do all that again, but if the ring serves some importance, it gotta be done!
