    How many bolts did you take out? Did you remove the distributor already? If its just stuck, take two very small flathead screwdrivers and put them just under the intake on each of the front corners and tap them with a hammer, that has worked for me in the past. You can always try a little penetrating oil between the heads and intake. If that doesnt work try some dynamite!!!!
