Stephen,
After you have removed the distributor clamp there is a 1/4 NF screw
recessed into the upper surface of the casting. Might pay to take that out
before you really damage something with your blue wrench!!!

Hi Folks, here's another silly question.
I have to remove my distributor spindle drive in preparation to pull
out the cam, and I'm finding one item rather stubborn. I was
expecting the piece of casting that is left after you take off the
distributor,(about 3/8" thick, with 3 holes ) to come off rather more
easily than it is. Is it not just a gasket between it and the block?
I have tried some heat, but I don't want to force anything. The
spindle won't pull out with this piece in place......what am I
missing?
Stephen, BJ8
