Default Distributor advance? relatively urgent

I'm drawing a blank...which direction would I rotate the distributor to advance the timing, clockwise or counter-clockwise? (It's on a 99 SOHC civic)


Thanks

Assuming the 99 civic runs counter-clockwise which I believe it does, then you rotate the distributor away from you, towards the bulkhead in order to advance the ignition.

rotating the distributer towards the firewall will advance the timing

Thanks...after some tinkering and test dives I was able to get it to run better.


Thanks again
