Stupid question, but which way should i turn the dizzy to advance/retard the timing?

[Black1987Stang]

Just as the title says which way do i turn the dizzy to advance or retard the timing? I think its clockwise to advance and vice versa

 

[slow5poh]

clockwise to advance

counter clockwise to retard.

 

[sunil6784]

I concur

 

[bluevenom867]

Yup.

Unless you are in the Southern Hemisphere, in which case it is the other way around.

(wait, maybe that applies to water going down the drain).

i thought so just checking thanks

I think bart simpson proved that one...

 

[srothfuss]

So which way does water spin when you are at the poles? North or south?

Down.

 

[04sleeper]

Down.

Don't you mean on the Equator?

North Pole = Clockwise

South Pole = Counterclockwise

 

[bluevenom867]

Out into space?

Oh,I wanted to know one thing.

How many of you have your distributor recurved?

Im runing ours with locked out timing,and an adjustable controler from inside.We can have between 25-40* total timing all the time.

and if you ever forget, usually when you retard the timing, the idle will decrease. I know that works for carbed engines. (Perhaps the computer adjusts itself?)

Same on EFI foxes.

I still think I was right in as crude a fashion as one can be - the water flows down (unless you are in a funnel cloud. But I did not say straight down. Toward the center of the earth would have been more precise).

Srothfuss, were you inferring at magnetic North and South poles? Interesting question for the science guys in here.

This is something I have considered on the 94GT (they run too much low-load timing and too little fuel). It would be a little simpler than TwEECering.

Does it work pretty well?

Oh,the locked out timing works great with the carb.

It idels good,and throttle respons is better.

I dont know how it would work with EFI,but for carbed its great.

Yeah, locked timing works fine on EFI IMHO. I think it would be cool to be able to easily tweak the locked timing setting on the fly. Thanks for the info.
