You've removed the nut that holds the clamping mechanism to the block,
right?  After that the main thing holding the distributor in is the
"sticktion" between the rubber O-ring that fits in the grove of the
distributor body and the block itself.  Not sure if we're talking water- or
air-cooled here but I've also had the surrounding tin on an air-cooled
engine hang up the distributor some.  Give it a *real good* tug.
