This is for both OBDI and OBDII. You have to jumper T1 and TE1 with like a paper clip from the diagnostic port so the timing doesnt jump around. Crank the car up and from there you can take your timing light and clamp it on spark plug wire #1 and check timing.

The bolt to turn the distributor is a 12mm bolt to the left of the distrutor (towards the back of the engine) whichever way you look at it. Loosen the bolt some and you can physically move the whole distrubtor frontwards or backwards.

Base timing is set at 10 deg BTDC. On the timing cover you'll see 4 marks( l 10 l 0 ) which is in increments of 5 degrees of timing and starting at 15 all the way to the left (15, 10, 5, 0). Using your light, retard or advance the timing as necessary and then tighten the bolt back up and remove the paper clip from the diag port.

14 degrees is as far as I'd advance it if you want to.
