If you can get at it, I have found that light upward hits with a rubber mallet work quite well. Don't hit the vacuum canister, as tempting as it may be. It doesn't take much to brake it off.

Wrap the dist housing with several wraps of heavy duct tape (90 MPH tape). Then try to move it back and forth with a pipe wrench while spraying with PB blaster or WD 40. Once you get it moving a few light taps with a plastic mallet should get it out.

Iam glad to see this post, Saves me from having to ask the same question. I guess after 40-50 years the dizzy wants to stay put..

I've had real good luck using a band type oil filter wrench and penetrating oil on 'em.... /Duck

Itman: Penitrating oil and patience! Let it soak overnight & use the before mentioned methods. "Light" tapping can also be helpful.
