Super Simple Question

On these engines, do you want to turn the distributor housing clockwise or counter-clockwise to advance timing?

See, simple!

Counterclock wise to advance.

simple rule of thumb.....

look at the vac advance can - go in the direction it points to advance, away from the direction it points to retard.


also, when figuring rotation of any dist on any engine, the rotor always turns opposite the direction the vac advance can points.

That is so obvious in hindsight! Never thought of it before.
