The computer sets and adjusts the timing, so unless you removed the distributor, you should not have to mess with it. But I think the base timing is 8degrees BTDC.

well to check the timing you can set the engine at Top dead center or TDC you do this by lining up the line on your engine block with the line on the crankshaft pulley or harmonic balancer, take your distributer cap off and check witch spark plug your rotor is pointing to it should be pointing to piston #1 you can find what cylinder its pointing to by following the sparkplug.
