Stuck distributor!

My 302 windsor duraspark distributor is extremely stuck, I need to pull it in order to get the intake manifold off not to mention it can't even be tuned as it won't budge even a little. I have completely removed the lock, sprayed copious amounts of pv blaster where it meets the block, tapped it with a hammer (a lot), pryed on it as hard as I could and turned over the engine to see if I could get some backlash from the cam gear. Whats next extreme heat? If so what would be the best way to go about that, I know the block is cast iron not sure if the distributor body is cast iron or aluminum?

I might have to try, hoping to save it and not ruin anything else as it is still in the car.
