Distributor question...??..

It's weird it's only as if it hits in one spot like one long tooth on the outside and one long tooth on the inside they like to touch each other....
I think this is the way I'm going to go like you said just try and file those two that like to touch each other..

I bet the ring in the distributor body is off center, and the rotor has one long tooth.
If the dist was bent, the tooth that makes contact would have the smallest gap all the way around...

They're using tubular rivets that are too long to secure the ring in the distributor, and then smashing them to bits. Honestly, that doesn't say "quality" to me, and so I'd bet they have no good locating feature for that ring, just the eyeball alignment of their slave kids putting them together..
