Lets get BASIC!

Post by The Original Tom »

Right, I need to certify some fundementals about the Rover V8 before I break something!

1) Rotor arm on an elec dizzy spins clockwise.
2) to advance, you spin the dizzy anti-clockwise.
3) retard, is clockwise.
4) The vac unit pulls the base plate anti-clockwise within the dizzy.
5) The bob-weights pushes the rotor arm clockwise more in relation to the direction of travel (e.g further clockwise).

Sorry, but please indulge my ignorance!
