I had a heck of a time removing the former 7/16 head bolt with the bracket in my way. Not much room to maneuver a wrench. Jack J.
      Jack,
      Get yourself one of these. Snap them together, using the 9/16" side to tighten/loosen the distributor hold down bolt...easy peasy. Don't need to move/remove anything.
