Default Timing Adjustment Question
Hi!

I may be tinkering with the timing a little in my 89 L98--haven't decided yet. Before I do, I was wondering whether you rotate the distributor clockwise to retard the timing (as in my '81 Corvette), or counterclockwise?

Thanks!

It is the same for all GM V8 engines.
