Hi noirsurfer and welcome to FTE

Your timing isnt adjustable.
Any symptoms you're trying to cure?

Thankyou for the FYI. Just trying the self tuneup. The AC makes the number 3 plug impossible to get out. There must be a special tool.

You can get at the plug from underneath or from in the inner fender. I usually use a flex ratchet and normal spark plug socket, sometimes a really short extension.
