The timing on the 96 SS cannot be adjusted by the owner. Timing is a function of the PCM and inputs from the optispark and crank position sensor. The timing is continually monitored and adjusted based on driving conditions and whether or not the "Knock sensors" are reading a knock condition at which time the PCM will retard the timing to prevent engine damage. This can be altered somewhat by changing the sensitivity od the sensors by modifing their circuits ot by substituting a LS4 knock sensor.
