Distributor woes

[Kneale Brownson]

I was able to snap that upper cap retainer by putting some tool through the
top of the intake manifold.  Can't remember if I used something like a long
1/4" extension bar or a screwdriver.  I got that one hooked first and then
was able to use finger force to hook the lower one.
