If I understand the problem correctly, I'm thinking that, worst case, if
pulling on the rubber end where the wire attaches to the distributor still
winds up leaving a chunk of the wire in the dist, you can do one of two
things:
1) Needle-nose pliers, to see if you can get the rest of it out
2) Replace both the distributor cap, and the dist-to-coil wire. Keep
track of the various spark plug wires and replace them in the same
positions (ask me how I know!)

I've never used it, but I'm told the Pertronix Ignitor (I think it's the
Ignitor II now), is literally a drop-in replacement for the points, and
functions like an electronic ignition.
