I am going to try tapping the base and use a little liquid wrench to boot.

The distributor on the 2.8L v6 IS NOT attached at all to the intake manifold. You can remove the inteake without removing the distributor.
When you have the intake loose, you have to lift the intake,twist it a bit and pull it towards the front of the engine. You cannot lift it straight up with the distributor in, but there is no reason to remove the distributor. I have just finished swapping a 87 2.8L motors in my truck and left the distributor in place when switching intakes.
DO NOT try and force the distributor out, you will cause more problems if you are rough with it.
I will try and get a picture tonight and post it on how to remove the intake. If you can, wait till then.
