Maybe you have solved it, but thought I would add the image.

Ok rotated the crank towards the drivers side 360 degrees and this is what everything looks like now. Thoughts?

I can't remember for sure, but I think what happens if you have the
distributor body out of a certain range is that it will not be able to close the
holders onto the cap, from hitting one of the various metal pieces.

It looks like you need to aim for the line on the distributor to be about
30 degrees more clockwise; anyway that's always worked for me. Also your
rotor is as you know not in the right place.

Lift the distributor almost out, until the shaft can spin freely. Line up the line as
I said above, and line up the rotor a bit to the left of the line. Due to the gear
shape, as you insert it the rotor will turn to the right a bit. Hopefully it lines up
close to the distributor line. If not, repeat with rotor moved very slightly. Loosen
the clamp and line it up for real. Check that cap can be clamped on before
declaring victory.
