Do you have the correct unit for a Standard Engine?

Are you sure it is right down? If Pertronix, they are a tight fit. I think the Pertronix part no is LU149 (or something like that)?

The dust cover should fit on.

I can post a photo if it may help.

That part number sounds correct. It is for Negative ground/earth.

Mine fits perfectly. I'd try to gently ease it off - careful they are fragile - check inside for any moulding burs etc then try to fit it in a different position?

It is a very firm fit. You will need to ease it off by hand, no tools.

A number of guys have fitted them with no problems.

Just a thought - I can't think how but has the top shaft in your distributor risen up perhaps? Is it all free around the governor weights area?

I had one that I thought bottomed out, but it really wasn"t. It even ran that way for a while and then got out of time. I had to take a knife and scrape out the cam area until I could tap the sleeve over the cam.
