I carry a set of points and condenser in the glove box. About a 10 minute chore to convert back from Pertronix.

BTW, you are right about the picture showing a slide hammer being used to free the distributor, yet I know I've seen it somewhere, perhaps in a Service Counselor or TSB. Next time I see it, I'll scan and post. What held the distributor in place was an accumulation of carbon-like oil residue that had sort of sealed the larger upper flange on the distributor lower housing. Once cleaned, no further issues.
