Yes, moving the distributor does alter the timing. If you set the timing by ear, just loosen the distributor clamp and proceed as you would with anything else. If you are going to set the timing using a timing light, there's a jumper plug called the SPOUT connector that you will have to pull to temporarily disable the computer advance. You can find the SPOUT connector on your 92 near the driver side hood hinge, possibly taped to the wiring harness.
