I managed to get the distributor's backing plate out and see that there is nothing wrong with the cam or shaft. It's been many years since I've working on a distributor and had forgotten that the cam has a flange on it which sits over two stubby pins on the centrifugal advance arms and it had lifted off of them.

The distributor itself is till stuck and I have no way to slam-hammer it out. Even if I could attach the hammer to it, mine is too long. I have a couple months now to think about it as the shop is all closed up until next time.
