I have not done it in an 86 but I have done it in an 80. I would say that
you are off to a good start if you got it up 1/8".
What lube are you using? B'Laster is good on this.
If you can turn it back and forth as you lift it that helps and may eventually
loosen it more. The further you can turn it the better!
I'd guess that the stuck distributor is partly due to the stability of the
electronic ignition system (rarely have to adjust it so it never gets moved)
with the possible sludging from infrequent or no oil changes. Crankcase
vapors tend to condense into some pretty gummy stuff.
