cam gear timing, which way is which??

ok quick question since search is messed up....

looking at the cam gears, which way are they turned to advance timing?? is it counter-clockwise (the same way the timing belt turns), or the other?

i know dizzy timing is pulled towards the front of the car to retard timing, but i gotta fix a high idle...
