I was trying to adjust the timing by ear but couldn't rotate the distributor. I loosened the clamp but can't turn the distributor? Is it just stuck or am I not doing something? Thanks! |

It was just stuck. A couple light taps with a hammer loosened it up. |

Good job! A little time to think while the penetrant oil is working will get you through a lot! |
