This is what they say about the ignition timing.

Base Timing
The distributor ignition system has no provision for timing adjustment. The base timing is preset when the engine is manufactured, and no adjustment is possible.

The distributor may need adjusting to prevent crossfire.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
