Started tearing into my 430 today and hit a snag. Now this engine has been sitting for 20 years without any fluids being drained and looks like a nightmare. So far I have taken off the carb, intake manifold (man it's heavy), valve covers and rocker assy. Drained all the fluids and sprayed pb blaster heavily into each cylinder. I took the keeper around the neck off and she wouldn't budge. I was trying to take the distributor out when I heard a snap. I looked and sure enough, I cracked the outer casing on the neck part. I sprayed all around it with pb blaster and used a prybar (yeah, I know) when this happened. Is there a secret to getting these off or what? I can't see anything still holding it in. I even took all the guts out of the top thinking there was a key or something inside. I can't really rotate it. Once I do get it off, where can I get a new one or better replacement for it?
Thanks for any and all input on this!!
