hey guys sorry to keep bothering about distributors. but when i got my 45d electronic distributor and put it into the marina engine although the bottom drive pegs fitted and it was the correct length. but the hole in the block is approximatley 34 mm wide. were as the distributor shaft is only approximatley 27 mm. so the distributor waps about. what and why is this happening?

What dizzy was in the engine before? Does the new dizzy fit the mounting sleeve/adapter that the 25D dizzy used ?
