Timming on a 92 240 200 1992

Does anyone know what the timming is supposed to be set at in a 92 240? According to Haynes it should say under the hood, but it doesn't, as a matter a fact, it also doesn't say what the spark plug gap is. Any knowledge is appreciated.

Thanks

Peter

The ignition timing on your car is not adjustable it is completely under control of the ignition ECU, timing signal comes from the crank position sensor at the flywheel. It should be at 12 degrees +/-2 degrees BTDC at 750rpm idle. Plugs set to .028 to .032.
