If it didnt move your mech advance was already in (advanced)... it will move if the mech is still retarted.. this is FACT EDIT By the way.. I bought my dist machine out of the dist lab at Chrysler.. where I worked for 1 year before I moved to the fuel lab.. I did this test a lot and magically it moved each time unless it was already advanced.. but the nice thing about using a dist machine is you can start out at zero rpm and work up to 4000 (dist rpm)to see the total advancement on the mech.. then apply the vac for total
