A mechanic said the '96 doesn't need to have the timing adjusted, but
I'm wondering if he was wrong.

Where/how does one adjust the timing on the '96? Do you simply loosen
and move the distributor cap a little bit? Or is there more to it
than that?

Thanks,

Michael

Does it have a distributor, then I guess it should work , loosen the
bolts and turn it.

Tighen the hold down bolt after using a tach to adjust timing.
