Counterclockwise advances timing (towards BTDC) and clockwise retards timing (towards TDC or ATDC) Once you find your right setting tighten the distributor clamp locknut back down, receck timing to make sure when you tightened the nut you didn't move the distributor, reconnect vacuum advance hose. drive away and go wheel!!!
