distributor alignment

Good morning, I have put on hold a friends 1835 engine for going on 6 months now. When we first put it together, the splining of the distributor was hell. Since then, we took the engine apart due to #3&4 cylinders stumbling.

I am now trying to get this project done, but I am again having the timing of the distributor problem. Question, with the distributor drive out of the engine, is there supposed to be excessive endplay? I dont have the flywheel on yet, that's next but again this timing of #1 to the distributor alignment mark is way off. Suggestions please, when I asked this question before, the response was "whether the drive gear was in or not the end play should not be excessive" . With that said and there is excessive play, can it be due to the thrust bearing? I have had nothing but bad luck in helping this person.
