Unless the car has an after market ignition system or is somehow very different from my 83 NA you loosen the nut that holds the distributor in place and rotate the distributor to advance or retard the timing. You'll need a timing light and to find the timing mark and scale by the crank pulley on the front of the engine, drivers side.

i "tried" changing my timing today. it didnt work

no matter how dar i moce the CAS it didnt budge

is there something wrong? the good news it im driving itwith a 2 day permit for thefirst time. the bad news is it doesnt rev well under 2500 rpm i think the TPS is off a bit still looking for the sweet spot

 

would the 35deg of timing make it sluggish? it boosts to 9psi but its not like a roar
