Correcting Timing

Im new to the zdriver and new to the ZX. I bought my 83 280zxt 2 weeks ago and I have been fixing things here and there ever since.

I have come down to what im sure is incorrect timing and Im trying to figure out how to adjust it. I have the haynes repair manual and it only covers up to 81 turbo. Can someone tell me how to adjust the timing or better yet give me a source that does.

Thanks guys

Welcome to ZDriver!

The timing is the same for any 280zxt: unplug the TPS, adjust the distrib to 21-24 degrees (your preference), and lock down. Easy as pie!
