Thanks, that's the advice I needed. I wasn't pushing down hard enough to spread the fingers.

As John said, if you bought XR700-231 it should fit.  I is supposed to fit many different make and model distributors.

Those little spring fingers on the inside of the interrupter rest on the "flats" of the 4-lobe cam.

Yes, Sir, That is the proper part number.  The top of my shaft is rounds for the rotor but after half an inch, it turns to a square where the  points bounce open and close. Please take a look at my profile photo. (sorry, it was the only way I knew how to post a pic! )

I took a pic but can't seem to be able to post it. 
Did you buy the right kit for your distributor?  Listed as XR700-231 on this site
