turn the gear just a bit. DONT try to jam it in, or you will damage the gears. the 22r has a sort of "in between" where the dist will sit down just a bit, but not go int. Make sure the engine is at TDC, and the rotor is pointed at #1 on the cap. It should be perfectly on to line up correctly.

i tried that for about 20 minutes, but to no avail....the rotor will turn when i turn the crank so it is partially engaging but i have a full centimeter gap between the distributor and the block

Make sure you re-assembled everything on the cam properly and torqued down the bolt. If something is off a little, then the distributor drive gear will be too far forward and not line up correctly.
