I've got multiple employees of Advance, myself, my dad, and anyone else that's seen it confused as hell. Thanks for the suggestions though man, really appreciated.

Has no one ever had this issue?!

might be a dumb question but are you sure you have the right distributor for the year? i don't know if all rotors are the same for all years or how all that stuff works but it's just a thought.

According to the Advance Auto computer system, it's the same distributor rotor from '88-'94 (and probably before and after, we stopped after that many years each way)...

Here's a picture of the other type these usually fit the early to mid 80's trucks. As far as I know there were only two types of rotors for the 4.9's.
