    need help with ignition timing

    well i just picked up a 88 accord LXI for 350 bucks and it needs 2 pass smog and the reason why it did not pass smog is because the ignition timing is off, so i got a timing light and the spec is 15_+2 BTDC and check it with a timing light and it was off by a couple degress, so i just wanted 2 know how do i adjust the dissy cuase i know on da carb'ed motors its only 1 bolt to adjust da dissy but da EFI dissy looks different so i just wanted 2 how do i adjust it.............
