Boy, I'm getting O-L-D

Ok, after 2 weeks (mostly because I threw out my back doing it), my engine is now swapped. Running same oem 88 LXi engine from an auto trans car in my manual. what a pain swapping engines are these days hehe.. I remember back in the good old days - front engine, rear wheel drive... 2-3 swaps in a day. LOL

anyways... this may be the stupidest question in the world but I am going to ask anyways... where the heck is the single bolt I have to loosen to set the timing? the manual says single bolt, every car I ever had has had a single bolt, but for the life of me I cant find the dang thing.. I seen 3 10mm bolts in a pyramid configuration, but I seriously doubt these are for setting timing... My timing is a bit too far advanced in the new engine and rather than pay an outlandish fee to have a shop set the timing, I would prefer to break out my timing light and do it myself..

assistance?

BTW.... anyone know if the throttle body or intake internals were different between the automatic and standard lxi's? it seems that the drone under accelleration is noticibly louder (sounds nice too btw) in the new motor than in the old one

i no this is for 2g's. but when my 99 Accord LX 5spd was stock all it could get up to was like 110. with more mods it got up there a little faster was but not much more.
