how do u retard timing on d16a6...?
i dont want to sound like a noob, but when u do it...do u rotate the distributor, or what...i have looked at some how to's, but the dont explain enough.....i mean, they explain undo the 3 bolts that connect the distributor...then turn , with timing gun attached to 1st spark plug wire, until the timing u want is acheived....so what do i rotate? they dont show a picture...

Your on the right track. You loosen the 3 bolts on the distributor which will allow you to rotate it. Clockwise retards, and counter-clockwise advances. Just use your timing gun, and make small moves.
What year/model? you may need to jump the service connector. |

When you say clock wise and couter do you mean to retard turn it towards the front of the car or the firewall? I thought it was to the firewall to retard and front to advance.

Always use a timing light when adjusting base timing. and lee is correct, jump the service connector.
