you can do it yourself. when you look at your motor, there is a screw under your distributor, you gotta pull the whole thing off, and theres a bight pink screw you have to turn it 4 turns clockwise, while turning the blue screw next to it 3 times counterclockwise. but remember when you do this, you have to take your #1 plug and put it on the #4 the 4 on the 2, the 3 on the 1 to make it run right. also you will need to run 120 octane fuel so you dont have a knock.
