Can't physically turn my distributor to get much advance

Thanks for all the quick replies, guys. I forgot that the hold-down plate also has adjustment in it where it bolts to the base of the distrib. Pulled it, adjusted the plate, stabbed it back in, and all is well.

The only thing I'm concerned about is that plate. I forgot that it had adjustment, and I only swapped distribs a couple months ago. I'm only a young gun! Too young to be losing my memory! :cheers:
