Distributor rotor rotates clockwise so turning the distributor counter-clockwise causes timing to advance.Last edited by ceh383; 06-24-2007 at 02:13 PM.

Clockwise retards the timing. To double check. Move it counterclockwise and the mark should move to "your" left on top of the balancer. If you move the distributor clockwise, the mark travels to "your" right as you look down from on top.Last edited by nitrowarrior; 06-24-2007 at 02:07 PM.
What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
