Getting a stuck distributor out of a Pantera engine takes patience and brute force at times. Try rotating the distributor or at least turning it back and forth. It is most likely stuck in the block and not on the camshaft distributor gear drive. Hopefully that will get it out of the engine and not have the oil pump drive shaft come out with it.
