If I turn the distributor counter clockwise does that make the timing go from btdc to atdc. Also when I do turn it to atdc the rpm goes up is that right.

Yes, when you "advance" (key word) the timing the rpm can increase. Hope your doing this with a timing light. And when your done you will need to reset your base idle and TPS.
