Missing clip is bad, it can fall into the pan.
You can get the pan off in the car.. I think you might have to take out
the starter and re-gasket it.
I would try more to to re-seat it or get the distributor back first.
It should turn pretty easily when in the pump though, should be some
drag though.
I have a special tool to spin it but a socket should work.. put a drill
on it an see if you can spin it
to get oil pressure. Drill needs to be on reverse. You'll get more
resistance at speed.
