Ignition Timing

I have an '89 9000s which I would like to check the ignition timing on. I
have searched and searched and found no information anywhere about this
procedure. I even ordered the Haynes manual (worthless waste of money) and
there is no mention of it. I think the reason may be because it is
electronically controlled but it seems like there should be some base
ignition timing that must be set, or maybe not.

I checked the timing at idle and it looks like 20 degrees. I thought it
should be 16 (read that somewhere) so loosened the bolt on the distributor
and turned it. It doesn't seem to matter where I turn it, it just stays
rock solid at 20 degrees, I'm stumped.
