Re: retarding the timing (snow white)
dist twisted towards bumper is retarded.....dist twisted towards firewall is advanced....
you need an "Advance Timing Light" (got mine from Sears) to see how much timing your running exactly. Otherwise you use just your basic timing light and you can set your timing by reading the marks on the crank (only set stock timing +-2 degrees).
