Distributor base plate removal

A bit off-topic, but since there's such a nice picture of the naked EI distributor, how do you remove the base plate? I tried but that black thing underneath where the rotor sits is preventing the...

Hi Jack, thanks, I'm a little closer now. From what I gather then the cross shaft should be loosened as well if there's lateral resistance after having loosened the set-screw? Is that accomplished by...

Shifter lever lateral adjustment

How does one move the shifter lever laterally along its shaft? To be clear, if you look at the image, I need to move the lever right, closing the gap with the side of the engine. I see there's a 3/8"...
