How does one reset the timing on an sr20? I know that a lot of websites say reset it to 16 degrees or whatever, but this is more of a general question. After I hook up the timing light, how do I adjust the timing if it is off? Is there a special dial or something? I have never adjusted the timing on any distributerless car so I am confused. I have searched these forums, but I can not find the answer. Any help would be appreciated.chad

Rotate the cam angle sensor, which I think sits just in front of the exhaust cam. There should be 2-3 screws that need to be loosened, 1 or 2 of them sit in curved slots.
