I am in the middle of preparing my 78 244 with the b21f for microsquirt. The distributor in the block right now is thoroughly stuck in place, and I have managed to rotate it only about 5 degrees trying to get it out, with using a hammer (yes I removed the retaining bolt). I am trying to figure out, do I actually need to remove it, and if so, how do I do that?
I don't know the part number, but is a bosch unit with vacuum port on both sides of the diaphragm. I have a spare distributor in my toolbox that has only one vacuum port that I was planning on locking the advance mechanism in, then swapping it in. The plan is to use the hall sensor to pick up cam speed data and use the existing coil and distributor for spark output.
One of the reasons I planned on replacing the existing distributor is that at one point, I tried starting the car with the cap off the disty and the little retaining clip caught on one of the fingers on the hall reluctor ring (I think that's what happened, I didn't notice at the time). I have since bent it back into shape but I am not sure if it is right, because I got fed up with the k-jet and removed it
