OK - crankshaft TDC mark is on the pointer. Cam and chain marks are aligned.

But distributor is 30 degrees off.

How do you fix this?

Distributor won't rotate enough to correct 30 degrees off. If I try, the vacuum advance would be pointing to the driver side fender, and the oil cup hits the adjuster dial beneath the dist., and the condenser would hit the valve cover.

Perplexed!
