What?

I guess you have a aftermarket exhaust manifold with the heater fins on top,if you can't see the nut or screw it might be difficult,try loosening the nut some times the screw will back out with it.

The otwell manifold heater is next to distributor lock nut. I just got it loose with screw driver socket.
Thanks

Some heater manifolds have a screw hole in them and some don't. The screw may back out along with the nut.

I would strongly suggest that a heater on your car in a Texas Summer would cause your distributor to be very hot.

Is it still on ?

Haven't though about removing it but yes it is still installed, well have to think about that.
Thanks

I find an offset screwdriver is helpful:
