How do you move the distributor?

Hi,

I'm trying to adjust the ignition timing. I used my timing light and it was WAY off.

I was just wondering how to adjust the timing? It looked like that bold underneath the distributor it is, and then of course jsut spin the distributor a little, but that bolt is in the worst spot to loosen up! I cant seem to get in there and loosen it. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Jacob

Hahahaha, I did it. I got it from underneath. There still was barely any room to get in there...but just enough to losen it.

I took the correct size box/open end wrench for the hold-down bolt and cut it into to make a stubby that I could work in that confined space. I use the box end half and it works okay.
