I think thats blown out of proportion by the crybabies.
If someone posts in the Restoration forum, then that's what its all about; preserving something, or making it exactly the way it was, or just learning about the way it was.
Here we get more of the opposite, a few members who are convinced the engineers and techs were a bunch of dummies and anything the factory did was stupid, outdated or cheap.
It takes all sorts...
LOL

Yep, looks like the ones US car tool sells. Don't know if they are original tabs. More likely came with bar and added. But really doesn't matter. Not original anymore with plates on them.

It totally depends on the person and the room under the hood. I tend to remove anything I can break. I honestly don't remember if I had the distributor in the last time I removed the intake. My guess is I removed it. If someone is paranoid about resetting timing then leave it. Its just stupid to argue about.

If you torque the intake bolts with a torque wrench, then the distributor needs to be removed so the socket and extension will clear it...

Torque intake bolts? Are you kidding?
 
The boss at work called us in individually yesterday and gave us a gift for showing up the last two days...

a choice of a camouflage hat with the company name on it... I have too many hats that I don't wear already....

Two sleeves of golf balls with the company name on it... I haven't golfed in 13 years now...

Or a Yeti Cup with the company 70 the anniversary name... Now I have two of them that I don't use...

Just tuck away in your head who doesn't bother with torque wrenches.
I don't argue with folks like that. I just don't let them work on my car.
I'm not saying I always use one, but for stuff like that I prefer to.
The difficult ones are the center bolts.
