Leave the label. It's more fun that way.

There is some test data around for a "homemade" penetrating fluid that has worked pretty well when I've tried it. It's a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF. My wif gets the larger size acetone at her favorite nail-polish counter and we split. She takes half and I fill the rest of the container up with ATF. I obliterate the label to avoid embarrassing remarks from garage visitors............ We stirred some up at work to release some rusty stuff (worked well) - and the safety man made us get rid of it.... "improperly labeled".

Same thing for an "O" Ring on the Housing. There is a Groove for One but not used in this Case.

I am working a 56 Victoria. Probably not an original engine. The distributor is frozen in the block. What is the best way to break it loose? Clean the area well and pour hot pariffin wax around the distributor base. Let it sit a few minutes and try again. Worked for me.

NEVER NEVER put a gasket between the distributor and the block.In fords service manual it states that the measurement from bottom of gear to housing shoulder has a .005" tolerance.Using a gasket under the distributor will mess up that measurement.

I have used a co2 fire extinguisher with some light taps works like a charm . Aim right out the base and give it a good shot

i agree with b blue,tho for different reason,the dist is aluminum and will expand more than cast iron.try packing ice around the base for a few hrs. they can be mean to get out. if you get it out a newer 1 with a ring they have more clearance, or get a bit off where the dist goes into the block. and us a gasket as it may leak with the increased clearance

Thank You. I have been using PB blaster for about 4 days. I am not in a hurry, so I will keep at it. It gave me a flashback to 1961.I was a senior in high school. I had a 55 2 door that I was using to commute to school. I tried to adjust the timing and the Distributor was stuck. I stopped at a local garage and asked for help. The mechanic tried and failed. I thanked him drove off and I still remember he look in the mechanic's eyes. Now I know, I should have given him a couple of bucks for trying.
