1983 D-150 Slant Six 89K on the clock. I went to remove the distributor and the darn thing wouldn't come out. I completely removed the hold down and still wouldn't pull out. As you pull it sounds like it's hitting a pin, any thoughts? Second question, I've replaced the clutch on this vehicle recently and bought what the book called for which was a 11" flywheel and clutch set. To my surprise not the right size, I needed a 10 1/2", so I wound up having to cut the flywheel instead of a new one. It seemed my choice of 10 1/2" clutch sets was limited. Could I have used the 11"?? Thanks in advance |

They can get crud built up on the stem of the distributor which makes it hard to pull out. Try lots of soaking with penetrating oil and/or carb cleaner and lots of twisting/pulling. |

10 1/2 clutch choices should be wide opean. Do you have the np435 or a833 od trans? |

It has an overdrive, so my guess would be A833. |

If you have the 833 OD then you will only have a 10" clutch max. There are not a lot of great options for that size clutch. |

Interesting, would you point me in the direction of a flywheel and clutch set stronger then OEM? |
