Forgetful

[greg g]

So last weekend we took a 60 mile trip to a car show.  Had the 0D engaged and noticed some pinging while giving it gas climbing several long grades.  Guess I need to retard my timing a few degrees.  But since it's been a few years since I messed with it, I have forgotten  which way to turn the distributor to back off a hair without dragging out the timing light or vacuum gauge.  This is strictly an adjust till it don't make that noise anymore  seat of pants operation.  So, clockwise or anti clockwise.
