I don't know if the 90 is DIS or not if it isn't then your distributror is on your drivers side lossen the hold down bolt and turn. Don't forget to pull your spout connector and use a timing light.

distributor is on drivers side. loosend hold down bolt (it is a pain) and turn counter-clockwise. You want to do this with the engine running so you can see how far you can go before knock and stalling the car. Watch out for the altenator when car is on.
