When I acquired my first Seven last year the manual Advance/Retard mechanism was set up back to front, ie. moving the lever to advance the ignition rotated the distributor clockwise, so retarding rather than advancing it. The link between the lever on the base of the steering column and the distributor should run across a line drawn between the centres of the column and the distributor, not in parallel to it. As a newbie it was easy to assume "it must be right".
