Distributor rotor rotates clockwise so turning the distributor counter-clockwise causes timing to advance.
Clockwise retards the timing. To double check. Move it counterclockwise and the mark should move to "your" left on top of the balancer. If you move the distributor clockwise, the mark travels to "your" right as you look down from on top.
