Hi,
I have an 84 2F sitting over in a friend's garage. We aren't doing an actual rebuild, but are having the head rebuilt & replacing the seals, gaskets, etc... on it.
Last night he was trying to remove the distributor & apparently spent almost an hour tinkering with it, but couldn't get it to come out.
He had removed the retaining bolt, and it would move freely (back & forth, like adjusting the timing) but he couldn't get it out. He didn't want to force it & screw something up, so he ended up leaving it.
Is there any special trick to it that he/I don't know, or is it just a little stuck & we should give it some light taps with a rubber mallet or something?
any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Abe
