I never knew there was an option on this But as the Service manual states↑↑↑ There is.

HN, would be aspen and volare. - I think I have a 77 or 78 Manual.

What is the normal procedure? Install at 3:00 or at 2:30?

Why is there a choice for this anyway? Dist Retard or Something for lean burn?

My build is a 318 in a 78 Van.

Thanks for your help!
