advance curve kit bushings
 

I purchased a Mr Gasket HEI Advance Curve Kit #929 to rebush and spring my distributor. The kit comes with two types of bushings: a simple cylinder and a cylinder with a base on it. The simple cylinder bushing fits on the distributor weight pins with a lot of play, not "snug" as the instructions state. The cylinder with a base bushing does not fit on the distributor weight pin at all. I can push on the bushing as hard as I feel comfortable and it will not go on. In addition, the bushings are too large for the holes in the stock weights. Do I have the incorrect kit or is there a trick to this?

just my $.02...... dont use mr, gasket at all. i have purchased numerous things from their company and none of them fit at all or required major modification to fit. i purchased a carb spacer(bolt pattern was 1/4'' off) air cleaner spacer(1/2 off in diamiter) alternator bracket( adjusting slot was not open enough to alow the provided bolt to fit through) valve cover gaskets(bolt pattern was off) you get the picture

Can anyone recommend a kit that did fit correctly?
