EdwardM=> What am I missing or doing incorrectly? Confirming what Russ noted, the 'round bar' is the clamp bolt. It was not originally so long that it would run into the flap rod. I have to wonder whether there might be an extra-long nut (a Type 4 nut, maybe?) or some other extension attached in place of the ordinary 10mm nut that should be there. At worst you should be able to loosen and/or remove it, then pull the distributor up with the clamp. In a pinch you can try pulling the distributor out of the clamp as Russ describes, if I understand correctly, but I'd leave that as a last resort -- if your shaft O ring is still any good, this could mess it up coming through the clamp.
