What symptoms make you think the distributor is bad? You may just be able to replace the coil or pickup for cheaper.

Drill out the center of the bolt and use an extractor tool. It will screw into the hole reverse threaded, so eventually it bottoms out and starts to turn the bolt counterclockwise

6gcs definately look better an inch or two lower.
