Is your '87 TBI or carb? If it is carb like mine, you loosen the bolt holding the distributor slightly, just enough to be able to turn the distributor. Making very minor adjustments until it will run on its own. Once it will run without applying any throttle, you will need a timing light, connect the timing light to your number 1 spark plug and shine it onto the harmonic balancer on the front of the engine, you should see an indicator, adjust it to the recommended setting.
