I need to pull the distributor on the 2.4 /6, but it won't come out. I have it at TDC #1, with the rotor pointing at 1. Took the bolt off the adjuster and can move it back and forth, but the whole assembly will not come up and out.

Any ideas?

For somebody handy with a soldering iron, you can buy the Crane optical trigger
without their ignition, add 2 parts and the power wire you would need for pertronix,
and have a near bulletproof optical system.

I personally didn't have any pertronix problems, but I think it is impossible to get
as accurate timing with the the magnet wheel as opposed to the slotted wheel, due
to manufacturing.

Would be interested to hear more about this system...are the parts to use and steps to follow posted somewhere? I am running distributor with points on my 2.2 six conversion and haven't had problems yet...I do like the sound of a more modern optical system that is almost bulletproof..
