May or may not cause your problem, but the HEI will not be optimized unless supplied with 12V. If the car has a resistor inline with the coil, just remove it. If its supplied by a resistance wire you need to run a new supply wire. The IGN terminal in the fuse box is a good place to get tap for the 12v. Google HEI conversion for better idea of what to do.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Distributer
Another trick is to use a long flat blade screwdriver and turn the oil pump shaft to match the distributor.
