On the driver side near the brake booster, find a tan wire with a black stripe. Plug looks like an O2 plug. Unhook it. Start car and set timing at 6*. Turn off car and hook it back up. Done.
An easy one

Disconnecting the tan/black stripe and starting the engine will also set a code on my 89. To remove the code, disconnect the negative battery cable for about 30 seconds and reconnect it.

Are you sure ? For example , I set the timing. No service engine light, but if I datalog the code will be stored. After driving a week I may datalog and it will be gone. Try it.
