1990 Prelude smog issues

I just bought a 90 Prelude Si for $250. Went to smog it and it passed the sniffer but failed on the timing marks. How do I go about adjusting it to pass?

Use a timing light on the crank. There should be some bolts holding the distributor onto the head. Loosen the bolts and rotate the distributor until the mark on the crank is within specs. The specs should be on the underside of the hood.
