I know this must be the XXX time a question on advancing timing on a B14 GA16DE engine, but I just need to know which direction to rotate that advances or retards timing.
If I move the top head of the distributor towards the bumper front, is it an advance or retard? Two mechanics have given me opposing views, so I'm rather confused...
I've read several instructions on advancing one's timing, but most state something like adjusting "clockwise" or "rotate towards front of car" - which really could mean either way, depending how one faces/looks at the distibutor (from which end/side)??
Grateful for a quick illumination on the subject to clear my doubts....Reason being that I don't have a timing light to begin with and will be doing it "blind"...
Thanks in advanced for any help rendered....
