Depends on the year. 1991+ had DIS. I don't know about them, but prior to that they had a distributor and yes, you could retard it. I was timing mine a few years ago and didn't pull the spout. Took me a couple to figure out why it was running like a Model T, LOL.

not THAT would be a good race. 88hp 2.3 vs a model T. I think the T would get it on the top end.

Well, for the DIS motors to my knowledge, you can't retard it. It's set by the magnetic pick-up that is off the crank. You might look into MSD, they might have something that can hook up to a DIS ignition system. MSD is the bomb!!! (IMO) I'm sure your not the only one that has thought about putting0 "NAWZ" on a DIS motor
