Yup, its called a distributor hold down bolt wrench. :) Looks like you live right around the corner. I've got one, or you could get one from just about any parts store. I got mine from Sears for $10

There is a special wrench but they can still sometimes be a pain. On my Formula (91) it was so tight when it finally came loose I thought I snapped it off.

Yeah, they can seize in there especially if it's a factory aluminum intake. Don't round it off- then you're in trouble. Get the right wrench.
