A little help with timing

[HATCHY]

I have ea81 4 wd distributor, My car diesels pretty good, I knoiw the weber causes this, but not to the extent of the dieseling that appenes to me, and I seem to be lacking power somewhere, a little down low and alot up top. Im out of town, no timing light, Which way do I turn my distributor? clock wise or counter clockwise, Just to get me in the ball park..

 

Thanks

Not sure off the top of my head of the disty rotation but... take off the cap and bump over the motor, watch which way the rotor turns. You want to turn the dist housing the opposite way to advance the timing. If not able to watch while cranking, put the car in high gear, brake off, and pull the car forward with your hands while watching dist. rotation.

Clockwise = advance

C-Clockwise = retard
