The pinch bolt is used by Austin A-series, but Datsun A-series uses a bolt that faces up
Yeah, loosen a little bit, just enough so the distributor can be rotated with a bit of force, but not so loose that it moves freely
There are two bolts, the one on the bottom and the one that goes into the block. The block bolt is the one for fine adjustment. The bottom one (on the bottom of the distributor) is the coarse adjustment and only used during assembly
Once you clean off the grease and grime you'll see this plate
The Retard/Advance marks illustrate that the rotation just a little bit is all it needs, 2 degrees is like one millimeter
A12 and A14 type timing adjuster plates, the adjustment bolt goes into the block. It also serves as the hold-down bolt
