Your timing should be at 12btdc in the first place.
As for the bolt find yourself a long old wrench(not sure of size) and bend it so it will fit down behind the plenum.Or you can reach it with a socket and a universal joint type adapter.Good luck man.

The bolt's 15mm; I also use the ratchet with long extension, and universal joint.

I was using a 9/16" box wrench cut in half, but man, I kept burning myself on the damn engine, and dropping the wrench back there- forget that anymore!
