My Z28 has been having the symptoms of needing it's timing adjusted. I'm not too familiar with domestics but I always thought you rotate the distributor to adjust the timing. I can't even find the dizzy underneath the hood, anyone mind helping me out? Do you even use the distributor? If not, what do you use?

Don't have the money to pay to have it diagnosed. The problem is its running sluggish. When I first start it up in the morning it runs like complete trash and backfires if I give it enough throttle. After it warms up it runs a little better and doesn't backfire anymore. It still runs a little sluggish and I have to give it a little more throttle than usual to accelerate. It's something that controls all the cylinders, not just one. So I'm starting with something that can be adjusted to save money. Is there anyway to adjust the timing?

distributor is way in back by the firewall. you need to loosen the distributor clamp (real pain). are you getting a service engine light? take it to autozone or pep boys, they do free engine fault code reading.
