There's also a small room just behind main entrances. Usually with a rather unfriendly person waiting to give you a good bashing when you stepped through.

And the ceiling of this room usually contained murder holes, for murdering you through.

I love that this image is from a late 70s Mazda rotary.

 

That's two sets of points and two vacuum advance mechanisms.  You rotate the whole distributor to set leading, then slide the trailing vacuum advance can in and out (two screws) to adjust trailing.

That sounds confusing.  My '73 RX-2 had two distributors.

Packard v12, 2 6 cylinder distributors in one.

Set base timing on the first bank of cylinders with a light bulb on the points. 

Rotate engine to the next timing mark and move the second, adjustable set of points to bring the second bank into phase with the first.

Verify both with a timing light while running.

It's confusing when you read the process in a manual but easy once you've done it on the car 

Later Lincoln V12s have to be set up off the car.

It's got a cold electron intake kit, sport tuned center console screen with over 11000 nits, and for a little boost at the track, my buddy hooked me up with a couple half-farad caps from the car audio guy at the flea market..
