The fan turns clockwise(if my memory serves me), so I would assume that turning the distributor clockwise would retard ignition. I have been experiencing engine "run on" after I turn off the key, so I decided that I would retard timing slightly and see what happens. I turned the distributor clockwise(the same direction that the fan turns) and my engine seemed to act worse than it did before. I am going to fill the car up with premium fuel today(93 octane) and see what happens(I used 89 octane last time). The problem surfaced recently, and I thought maybe it was due to the colder weather?

Matt, my car is torn up pretty badly. I have all windows out(except for the back window) because I decided to take the car down to bare metal prior to repaint. Aircraft Remover works really well! I did find a few rust spots that required attention, so I am in the process of fixing them. I ordered a slew of sunroof parts, and have taken the the entire car down to bare metal, and then I primered everything with the exception of a rust repair spot in the right rear fender(I ran out of shielding gas for my welder). I hope to get the car painted very, very soon...

I'll post a link to some updated pictures as soon as I get them posted!
