Here's a good ignition tutorial covering the basics.

Thanks for the info Johnk, nice reference website. I thought for sure rotating the distributor clockwise retarded the timing...this is why I stay away from engine work. Sometimes you begin with one simple question and it goes who knows where. That explains why it is slightly more difficult to start my car now, but it runs like a bat-out-a-hell. I may get up the nerve to scrunch back in the engine bay again and turn the distributor counterclockwise to retard the timing just a bit, but not back to where I was in the first place.
