I was out tinkering with my 320 again this morning. It suddenly struck me that before I took my car off the road to rebuild that I had discovered that the distributor was stuck in the engine block. I know this is a common thing so I actually have a whole new distributor to put on.
I was wondering if anyone on here had experience in getting stuck distributors out of the block??
If so how do you do it??
Cheers in advance

Remove the bolts and plenty of penetrating oil over a few days. Ideally, the penetrating oil should have been applied when you discovered it was stuck.

Ah fair enough. Thanks for that. No particular secrets to it then? I did apply penetrating oil to it a year ago when the car was taken off the road and a couple of times since.
Just a case of brute force from here on out.
