mine has o rings on it and does the same thing. i put assembly lube on it and it will work down with a little pressure.

The shaft may have turned on you and may not be fuly seated in the oil pump

Make sure your oil pump rod is straight up. Mine has a tendency to lean to one side and I have to jack up the car and move it with a screw driver to get it to hold straight up. Distributor goes in without a hitch then, otherwise I'll stand there for years trying to get it to go all the way down.

sounds like oil pump shaft ant lining up with dizzy,...rotate motor with a breaker bar a few degrees an it should settle on in no problem....
