    86badboy,

    I had the same prob before. what happened is the oil pump drive moved. putting the rotor in the wrong position. to fix make sure the motor is at TDC on the power stroke, locate where the rotor sould be on the cap and with a long screw driver look down the hole for the dist. move the oil pump drive slot into the correct location. Good luck. V
