Default 1988 distributor problem

Hello, I need to change out my distributor, so I went out and got a new distributor, but now the problem is that the old one doesn't want to come out, I got the bolt that was holding it in, but the old one will not pull out, any ideas here? Let me know. Thanks

I did take the cap off first.

It will just take a little work to get it out. It is being held in with grime buildup. To get the distributor out you need to pull up hard at the same time turn it back and forth. This will break up the grime and eventually allow the distributor to come out of the car.

Did you take the cap off before trying to remove the distributor?
