I would first check if you have spark out of the coil. Just stick a plug wire in the coil slot, put a plug in it, lay it close to a metal area and see if you got spark jump. If spark, then suspect distributor hall sensor. Kinda hard to see, but check the plastic connector towards the base of the distributor. The wires have been know to crumble and ground themselves out. As far as removing the distributor, you need a 10mm gear wrench to remove the cap. The bolts have clip on the distributor so they won't fall out when you have them out. If you decide to remove the distributor, make a mark on the valve cover and the base of the distributor for re-install. Easier to replace the entire distributor because the hall sensor is riveted in place. Pretty sure the FAQs has an entire description on testing the hall sensor. You really need to become familiar with the FAQs. An enormous amount of info that members over the years have contributed.
