Loosen the Distributor hold down bolt enough that the distributor can be moved by hand.

Locate the timing bypass connector that is sort of hanging out of the electrical harness at the right (passenger) side front strut (shock) tower. it is connected to a TAN wire with a BLACK stripe. Use a jumper wire and make a good connection with the connector's metal tab and ground the other end of the jumper to a reliable ground.

Connect an INDUCTION timing light and to #1 cylinder spark plug wire near the distributor.

Start the engine and move the distributor to align the crankshaft TDC mark with the 10 degree mark on the timing pointer.

Stop the engine and remove jumper and timing light. Tighten Distributor hold down bolt. Start the engine and test drive.

NOTE: Grounding the bypass wire to set the timing may cause a code 42 to be logged in the ECM. Disconnect the battery for a few minutes to clear the code.
