This is a very involved procedure, that is too complex to post here. Go to any auto parts store and purchase a repair manual for you ride. There you will find detailed instructions. Cost around $12

Ignition timing is not able to be adjusted from distributor as with many typical vehicles. You must remove timing belt and adjust a tooth at a time, which will not improve mileage or power. The distributor is ran from the timing belt.
