Re: Nasty Little Distributor
If the rotor moves and rises up some that means the shaft isn't seized in the body. That's good. The V8 Chevy that we know didn't appear until '55 so a 52 wouldn't have one originally. When aluminum corrodes next to steel the oxides it creates can put a huge amount of pressure on the aluminum part and can create a press fit. I'd try pulling intake and distributor then remove distributor shaft to loosen the distributor from the bottom side.
Wyoming is fairly dry country. Not sure about Kansas but out here an engine left to sit for just ten years can experience some pretty drastic corrosion from the humidity. Post pics if you get into it.
