I did not have to remove the distributor. But mine is an 84.
If you need to remove the distributor just mark the distributor
of its location. Just line it up when you re-install it later.
You still will need to do a timing adjustment afterwards. But
with the distributor not far off it will be easier to adjust it
later.
