Forget the timing. The key is the little black box on top of the air flow meter. Inside you'll find a racheted adjuster.

the problem is that you'll need an exhaust gas analyzer, which means that you'll have to bring it to a shop.

Mark the adjuster so you'll know where you started, and move the adjuster one notch at a time, until you're in spec. You WILL find a setting that will pass.
