UPDATE:

Carburetor came back from the shop and everything checks out ok.

I pulled the distributor and put new points and condensor in even though points looked good and condensor was a year old.

New issue. I marked the distributor and motor so I could just drop it back in. I also took a picture of which way the rotor was pointing. When I try to reinstall, the distributor will only seat with the rotor pointing another direction. Why? Should it not go back in the way it was? The truck was not moved and or cranked while distributor was out.

First pic is before I pulled it. Second pic is how it now seats... uuugh!

Help!
