After being left stranded in the summer, I finally got around to pulling the engine. It turns out the pin holding the distributor drive gear had come partway out, caught on the block and broke the gear. The pin remained out, which prevented the distributor from being removed from above.
Fortunately I was able to push the pin back in via a hole revealed with the oil pump removed. Even more fortunately, the jackshaft wasn't damaged.
Now that its out, I'm going to try and fit an Alfa 105 tranny I was fortunate to be able to purchase a few years back from a member on this forum that had already done some of the engineering necessary.
