I “re clocked” the distributor by moving each plug wire clockwise one spot then turned the distributor CCW about an inch, this approximated the correct position of the vacuum advance unit ( 6 o’ clock). I never had to remove the distributor. This procedure worked and the car started right up. After completing this part the car wouldn’t re-start ( cranked really slowly) and fried the 250 amp fuse, that’s why I was thinking the timing went too far.
