Bring the engine up to operating temp, remove hold down clamp and saturate base with PB Blaster, let soak in then "tap" around the base with a blunt object and hammer, repeat as often as needed, it will eventually free up.

The distributor on my '73 460 was stuck at one point too. I sprayed it with penetrating oil, and got it loose with a big pair of vice grips the next day. I put some rubber hose on the vice grips to keep them from marking up the distributor. After that, I was able to turn it easily by hand.
