At one time there was a tool for this. I'll be darned if I cannot find a picture though. It had a circular forked plate that fit under the bowl of the distributor and a jack screw that tightened down against the block. On a side note a co worker had a 54 of a relatives that had sat for years tried to remove a stuck distributor. He and his boy wrapped a chain around it and hooked it to a cherry picker hoist. He said it did come out but the front wheels of the car were off the ground. I imagined the 54 was cast iron housing?
