This distributor will not come off
As you can see, I removed the one bolt that (I think) holds this in. I’ve sprayed penetrating oil, and carb cleaner (for the little o ring) and it still isn’t budging. Not even wiggling a little. What do I need to do?

i had that happened before on a customers car. a heat gun and soft rubber mallet helped me got it off. for that reason, i have been applying a thin coat of anti seize on the upper portion of the dizzy and bottom of the base plate. antiseize works well too on radiator hoses

The issue is that the distributor is stuck because the distributor o-ring is grabbing too tightly on the front cover. I've used a silicone spray to assist the o-ring in sliding up the front cover and removing the distributor. These can be frustrating to remove once they have sat for so long, not being moved.
