once the distributor is in the shaft won't fall out, that just keeps it from coming out when pulling the dizzy up , incase it desides to stay lodged in the dizzy shaft
that happened to me a couple months ago changing my neighbors 67 over to electronic ignition. Needless to say I was not pleased the next couple hours.

hypothetically speaking. if it popped up out of its spot. do you think the dizzy is getting wedged in by the shaft...so thats why it wont drop further than just getting over the tip of the pump driveshaft?

the clip is made in a way that allows it to be pushed down, but not supposed to be able to come up. plus if the shaft wasn't seated in the pump, you'd know it, cuz it would probably be in your pan.
if you are using the same parts that were previously installed then the issue is solely needing to line up the shaft with the hex on the dizzy, sometimes it takes me numerous attempts when it gets out of align

try adding a little black silicone to the end of the shaft and installing it in the distributor. Let it sit a few minutes so it will hold, then install the shaft using the distributor. The balancer should be at 0 degrees.
TDC on the COMPRESSION stroke on #1 cylinder.
if you dont have it on compression: it probably will not start and you will smell fuel in the exhaust.
been there done that, same with the shaft... took the advise of taking the retainer clip off... the BEST thing to do is drop the pan and the oil pump and put a shaft in with a clip and put the oil pump back on. If you drop the shaft, you will be doing just that.
I used wheel bearing grease to create a suction on the shaft in the dizzy, silicone should work too like someone mentioned. take your time.
