There is a hold-down bracket held down by a single retaining bolt on the passenger side of the distributor. Remove the bolt and bracket and the distributor will be free to rotate and pull in and out slightly. Once you've disconnected the electrical connections and plug wires you need to pull/pry upward on the shaft while rotating the rotor shaft until you start sliding upward. Be sure and set base timing when the new distributor is in. For TBI engines you need to disconnect the coolant temp sensor wire on the front top of the intake manifold to set timing correctly.
