I got a 79 Ford 4WD pickup with a 400 engine. The timing needs to be adjusted a little, but I can not get the distributor to turn. I completely removed the bracket and bolt that holds it. I have hammered on it to the point that I fear breaking it. That was before and after soaking the base with WD40. I tried to pry it up and out even using a 4 foot piece of 2x4. I broke the 2x4 in half, yet dist. will not turn. This is rediculous. I have always owned GM vehicles, and have never had this problem. It's always been loosen the bolt and a tap with a hammer is all that it takes. If this is one of Fords better ideas, I think I'll trade it in for another GM.
Anyone have any idea how to turn or remove it? What the heck is holding it anyhow?
