Distributor removal

[bob mclaughlin]

I just installed the EKE and I find that, since the timing hasn't been
changed in 5 years or so, the distributor is corroded in position and can't
be moved. I'm soaking it in WD40 now but I was wondering if any one had any
tips on freeing it up. OBTW, the clamp bolt and clamp are removed.

Thanks Emery. The WD-40 loosened it up. It was rust and crud where it went
into the block. A couple of hours soaking along with hand pressure fixed
it.

Tom, You're right but it was available and worked in about 2 hours.

bob WD 40 is not that good. Get something better that is a pure penetrant
