Default Which way does the distributor rotate?

I'm thinking clockwise, given the firing order and the placement of the plugwires, but just thought I'd ask to confirm. Sometimes my logic doesn't work!



Thanks guys!!! (What's the opposite of TTT? Keep it on the bottom? )

If you point your finger at the end of the vac advance hose nipple, you can follow it around through the distributor for the direction of rotation.
