You could "advance" the plug wires one hole on the cap as has been mentioned above which would give you a 45º distributor rotation with the same timing. You could also "advance" the distributor one tooth one way or the other for a 28º rotation. OR, you could remove the drive gear from the distributor shaft and reinstall it after rotating it 180º which would give you a 14º rotation.
