Use some penetrating oil around the base and just keep working it back and forth until it frees up. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. Sidom Veteran / Moderator Dec 1, 2010, 9:19 PM Post #3 of 3 (3562 views) Re: 1930 pontiac distributor removal Sign In As HT said some penetrating oil works good, I'd suggest PB blaster. Also what I've used on ones with a lot of sludge build up is a small ladyfoot pry bar. I get the end under the base and gently pry up, as it comes up more & more I keep spraying PB, push it back down and then pry up some more. It'll eventually come out... Now this is way older than anything I've worked on so I am assuming there is nothing else holding it in there.........If this was a chevette, then it would be the fuel pump cam holding it in because that's what runs the fuel pumps on those......(don't ask me how I know that)   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
