YOU don't set the timing on a 96, its all computer controlled. If your timing is off then you have a problem somewhere else. So if you timing is truly off then what needs to be fixed is whats causing it to be off. The computer sets the timing based on feedback that it gets from different sensors on and around the motor. And secondly i don't understand how you could even know if the timing was off in that car. But my advice is, if you know the timing is off and its not throwing any trouble codes, take it to a dealer.

To set the timing on a 2000 Oldsmobile Bravada, first ensure the engine is at TDC (top dead center) on the compression stroke for cylinder number one. Then, use a timing light connected to the number one spark plug wire and align the timing marks on the harmonic balancer with the timing tab. Adjust the distributor as necessary to achieve the correct timing specification, usually around 10 degrees BTDC, according to the vehicle's service manual. Finally, recheck the timing after tightening the distributor to ensure it hasn't moved.
