82 ZX feels weird after smog
I took my car to get smoged and after I got it bak it feels weird. It feels like it's shakes a lot. If I let it idle I feel like it will die. It doesn't die but idles around 700rpm.

I imagine they just turned down the timing to get it to pass.

Timing directions:
On a stock 280zx non turbo, the timing is set to 8*.

You can... but you'll never get it set dead on.
Just rotate the dizzy clockwise or counterclockwise until it runs better. Or, just borrow a neighbor's timing gun, or drive on down to your local parts shop as they should have one you can rent or borrow in the parking lot. =)
A timing light would also be a good investment for you, since you can get a basic one for about $15-$20.
