im not sure about the honda,but if your engine still uses a high tension wire and a distributor,you just need to attach the pick up clamps of the timing light to the nos. 1 wire ( the one goes that goes to the nos. 1 cylinder.which is usually the the one nearest to the water pump)but the wires are usually labelled 1,2,3,4 so madaling makita kung san ang nos. 1. if theres no spark plug cable,( parang un mga coil on plug types ,na may coil sa bawat spark plug at wala ng distributor),i suggest you bring to a reputable shop para iset nila ang timing.sorry if i can't be of more help.
oh and if its not under the hood, did you check the valve cover, or the fire wall for the tune specs. label? but lancer5790 already provided that detail so, just take note of it in your owners manual.
