So after my B cam swap and 2.25" exhaust upgrade, I noticed just a little boost in speed, as if I made barely a difference other than sound. So after looking around the engine, I noticed the distributor had a bolt on it, I loosened it and turned the dist. left, which advanced it I assume. But how much does it change timing? I turned it so the bolt moved about 3/8"-1/2" to the right of the slider. My idle immediately got smoother, but I'm wondering if it's possible to turn the dist. too far to the right or left and it messes things up. I assume Volvo made it stupid proof by having the dist. only turn a certain amount to not blow the engine up.
