I have a 96 Eclipse GS-T 7 Bolt Engine. I need to know how to advance or retard the timing. I don't have a CAS on the side of the cams oposite the gears that I can adjust. So how would I adjust the timing. If there is another sensor I use, or if I do have a CAS in another spot, please tell me, I don't know where to look for it. Also, which plug is the timing plug that I ground when checking the timing. There is a blue colored plug, a tan one, and a black one. Thanks for any help.
 
On a second gen we dont have adjustable cas.Im pretty sure you cant retard or advance the timing with the cas.You will need dsmlink or another tuning device to change your timing advance.
