Question Pertronix install

I am finally getting around to install the Pertronix system that I purchased in April. However I have a couple of questions...

When I install the magnetic sleeve it does not want to go all the way down to the base. The sleeve is oriented correctly.

If I put the rotor over the magnetic sleeve the rotor sits higher than it previously would, of course. However when I put the distributor cap on the distributor does not turn as freely. There is notable resistance as the top of the rotor is pressed against the cap.

I looked at the numbers on my distributor and they are:
Bosch
JFUDX4
0 231 174 011
VW 039 905 205 A

The pertonix unit is:
IP - PT - 1847

Here are some pictures...





Has anyone else experienced this?

I had to grind off the points ground solder as it was in the way of the pertronix base.

Thanks,
David
