why doesn't anyone answer a question on these forums?? :small3d023: He asked which way to you turn the timing plate to advance the timing JEESH
looking at the timing plate:
CLOCKWISE - ADVANCE
COUNTERCLOCKWISE - RETARD
Advancing the timing can help a tired old engine make a little more compression and help raise the idle. you do need to be careful that you do not advance it too much as that can cause too much heat and then detonation (pinging) and all the terrible things that go along with it can occur.

I'd suggest you read the previous posts and maybe make your next post a little less critical of everyone here who are tremendously helpful. Walking into a room and degrading everyone already there isn't going to make you many friends.
It was answered the same as your reply in post #3 and followed by a lengthy and helpful discussion.
