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?
