You will have to support the car with jack stands under the frame rails at about, or slightly rearward of the firewall to let the shock towers settle back out. This may take a couple days.

You can get either a straight or curved bar to clear the distributor you have.

Actually, jacking it up by the engine crossmember will probably work better.
