Timing Set procedure for '98 Cabrio

[Weezer]

I made a boo-boo. WHen the wife's Cabrio wouldnt start, in my desparation to
find a cause, I messed with the distributor timing. Now that I have it
running again (by replacing ignition coil), I need to reset the timing. Can
someone post the procedure? I don't have a book and (since we're about to
sell the vehicle) don't relish the thought of buying one just for this.

Any help would be much appreciated....

Get the engine crank to TDC, remove the cap from the distribitor.
Loosen bolt that secures dist. There is a mark on the top lip of the
dist, you want this mark to line up with the rotor button when the
engine is at TDC. Once you've twisted the dist so it lines up, tighten
the bolt back down and snap the cap back on.
