Ok I have been rebuilding a 455 and ran into a issue. When I bought the engine it was in pieces so I couldn't tell which way the rod for the oil pump and Distributer go. The rod has a ring about 1 inch from the end.

Is the ring supposed to be below the block so that it can't be pulled up through the distribitor hole?

Or is it supposed to be placed in through the distributer and will not allow the rod to fall into the oil pan?

Help
Mike
