Stop in for a cup of coffee

And I now realize why they make a special wrench for tightening down the distributor ... Great freaking googley-moogley I lost some knuckles on that effort....

KD, K Tool, and Gear Wrench all have this dist. wrench. I bet Harbor Freight has them too. 1/2" and 9/16. Hook them together with the coupler and the other end is a handle. I have sold 100's of them. You can probably find one in the tool section at your local parts store. No need to hack up other tools.
