Distributor will not go in

[senpuforty]

I just replaced my timing chain guides on my 90 240 fastback and now i put everything back together and the distributor wont go back in. I adjusted to timing gear and the crank. Can anyone help me out? thanks

get a flashlight and look inside the distributor shaft. You will see a half moon/circle shaped shaft at the tip and gears just below. Then look inside of the actual distributor and you will see the female version of the half moon/circle. Line them up and slide it in with the cap off so that you can keep the rotor from spinning. If you haven't removed the oil pump then there shouldn't be any timing issues once its back together. Get it on, start it up and turn the rotor left or right till the car runs correctly then tighten the two bolts to secure it.
