the distributor i bought did not line up wright with the base...only one bolt will be able to fit in it, the other 2 would not fit...the dist seemed to have the legs too far apart

I already returned the dizzy and he told me the part number but i forgot, dunno if its the td44 or td42, i see jdm dizzys online but right on the picture they have the same part numbers as the auto parts down here, if they have the same part numbers, shouldnt they be the same thing? I dont have the exact idea what car the motor came out of
