i took off my distributor and painted the metal part with some high heat paint..then when i was putting it back on, it wouldnt go in all the way frm the top bolt..i have it lined up but it wont go all the way in..any reason why this happened?

Thats wha happens when you try to put the dizzy on backwards . Just rotate the shaft 180 degree (1/2 turn) and it'll go on like butter .

*Edit* Missed the 2nd guys post, he answered your question
