matts87glsedan Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 sorry for the stupid question but i cannot locate this info in my manual. I am refering to the rotation of the distributor of course. ok, thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeshoup Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Here's an easy way to find out: Hook up your timing light (shouldn't be advancing without one of these) Turn the distributor one way, see if it retarded or advanced. There you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matts87glsedan Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 yeah, but my car wont idle and i have no one to keep their foot on the gas right now.. i was hoping to score a quick answerto simplify my life a bit. I'm convinced that the timing is retarded right now and i want to bump it back a hair. but hey, dont help if ya dont want to:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psylosyfer Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Easy answer with ANY car (that uses a dist,) Pull the cap to see direction that the rotor spins, Rotating cap the OPPOSITE direction advances timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davalos Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 You can also work the throttle from under the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
