My question to you is...How did you get the cam out with the distributor drive
still in place?
Have you removed the thingy where the dizzy bolts in? It has 1 bolt in it and
must be removed to take out the drive.
When this is out, thread in a 5/16" bolt and gently twist while pulling in a
counter-clockwise direction. This should remove the drive gear. Now you can
remove the cam!

screwdriver and service tool #18G-A1 (the big hammer) gently tap the woodruff
keys out with and old screwdriver and hammer.
Good luck
