John: Thanks for the expert clarification! I now realize that distributors which advance the spark by moving the rotor SHAFT, must move the shaft in SAME direction as shaft rotation to advance.

Whereas distributors which move the BREAKER PLATE to advance, move the breaker plate in the direction OPPOSITE of shaft rotation to advance.

It does make a difference which type is being considered!
