California smog

[mike5p01]

After finally getting the car running again I wandered to the nearest smog shop and failed. If anyone could help out with advice, it would be very useful. The car is stock... all I have is a basanni x-pipe with converters. Is that legal... the guy told me I HAD to have 4 cats(pre-cats) in order to pass. So heres the readings. The numbers in bold represent the failed portions.

15mph@1515RPM %CO2 12.4 %O2 2.9 HC(MAX) 86 HC(MEAS) 21 CO2(MAX) .5 CO2(MEAS) .02 NO(MAX) 996 N0(MEAS) 1086
25mph@1716RPM %CO2 13.2 %O2 2.8 HC(MAX) 51 HC(MEAS) 134 CO(MAX) .48 CO(MEAS) .03 N0(MAX) 856 NO(MEAS) 853

I also failed part of the visual inspection for not having 4 cats, also for a check engine light And I was also failed for this reason "This vehicle failed the ignition timing check due to engine rpm being out of tolerance" I left the timing at 14 degrees .. should I take it back to 12 or lower it even more? Please help.
