Couple things, quite often there's a build up of dried gunk on the distributor body where it goes through the block and it will feel like it's against something solid when you try to remove it. Are you taking the clamp with the dist? if not you should try it. If you are taking clamp with it, try rotating the dist shaft when it's out as far as it wants to go to see if the bell end is hitting on the crank, if so, rotate the crank a little until it clears. You may have to pull the pan to check in case the bell end is catching on the bottom of the bore.
