Sure can, as long as you don't mind a big timing *retard* right off idle. Manifold vacuum is high at idle, which will actuate the distributor advance. When you open the throttle you kill the vacuum a

The manual on Greg's site includes coverage of the U20 engine, plus 1500, 1600 and 2000 suspension and brake mods. So I guess it's the 2000 manual, though I have not seen the 1600 manual. Todd Osborn

A steering wheel puller is the best way to go, but here's an alternative: 1) disconnect the horn wiring at the horns (keeps the noise down), 2) remove the horn button, press in and rotate counterclo
