New 22RE
I just installed a brand new motor on my 94 4x4 pick-up. I'm having trouble a distributor I bought, but I can't get it to line up. TDC, 5 degrees, rotor pointing up, slot lined up with bolt hole, but when it slides in either goes too far to either side, can it be defective. One other thing, got lost with some vacuum lines, need photos. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP?

The gears are helical so the shaft turns as you put it in. I get the rotor to line up with the bracket that holds the plug. That gets me very close.

2:00 is about where you want the rotor in the distributor before you insert it in the engine with the 22re. the rotor will rotate counter-clockwise when you put it in and should end up at about 11:00.
