The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Heating up a block to get stuck dizzy out

The distributor in my 390 was seized in the block. The distributor is broken where the cap goes on so I was able to be a tad rough on it to remove it. I soaked it for the past week with SeaFoam Deep Creep. Then I used a big pipe wrench and a ball peen hammer to persuade it to loosen. Took a few good wacks on the pipe wrench handle but it loosened up and is now out.
