OK so I have a timing question for all you gurus out there. When you turn the distributor counter-clockwise slightly are you advancing the timing or retarding the timing (assuming that your timing was correct to begin with)? That's my first important question.
My second important question:
What does it accomplish to advance the timing, what is it accomplishing when you have advanced timing, in other words what is the definition of advancing the timing?
My third important question:
Why would you retard the timing, what benefit would there be to doing this and having this configuration?
Several posts I have read have suggested advancing the timing but I don't know which way to turn the distributor to accomplish this and I don't understand why this would be helpful. I appreciate any light you could shine on this subject and demystify the terminology for me.
Thank you for your help. I think this could be beneficial to other readers as well.
