Emission to high with no more adjustment. Help needed.

The by the book timing on a Digi is a exercise in good greif.  Lets unplug this get the car up to temp, then rev the engine 3 times, hold at 2250 and then set with a timing light… It takes me 2 folks as I have to have someone hold the rpm for me, then every time I had to adjust it I had to wear a glove so I didn't get burned or scalded by the Radiator fan when it kicked on, and or nicked by the fan, and my short  13mm for the adjuster clamp… Pain in the asssets…..

Look at this thread on how to set the timing using a DVOM, and only the ignition key needs to be turned on, I have been doing it this way for years…works well
 only one person needed.
