[Fot] "Smokey's way"

[Bill Babcock]

You can, indeed, but you'll probably have problems with your starter.  
I have enough problems starting my car without doing it against full  
advance. You can add a switch to cut off the ignition until you get  
the motor cranking, but it's been a long time since I had a problem  
with a centrifugal advance.
