If you remove the hold down, the distributor sits in a notch. It allows a small movement. If the notch is removed, it will rotate.

That is what I am trying to say, the hold down clamp is pressed on the distributor and cannot be removed.

This is the problem, the distributor I have is not for my year of engine. I have a 1990 engine but it is into a 1998 4x4 Sonoma. It was like that when I bought it. I did not know this when I ordered the distributor, I ordered it for a 1998 4.3. It is the one with the cam sensor on the distributor. The 1990 does not have one on the distributor so it can be adjusted, mine cannot! If I ordered on for a 1990 my question would be where my cam sensor would be on my engine so I could use the 1990 distributor.
