I was very excited that Pelican sells the pigtail connector - reasonably priced and in stock too! I am lucky that I found it, I was about to either order a whole new CD box harness from permatune (lots of money for not much wire) or else try to figure out where to get the connectors, and make one myself.

Thanks for the encouragement, kach22i - I was getting into the prybar action some last night, then worried that the body of the distributor might not be strong enough for the abuse. It has been several years since I have had this distributor out of the engine so I could not remember the details of its construction. Good to know I am not likely to hurt it by beating on it some more. I will put on goggles and a suit of armor.

I know WD40 is crap, but Liquid Wrench is the best that I had on hand - not sure if that is much better. I do plan to buy some PB Blaster today.
