You're not up-to-date with your '92. Ever since about '89 or '90, the ECU gets it's signal about crankshaft position from a crankshaft position sensor that sits on top of the bell housing and monitors the flywheel.
There's nothing left in the distributor, no weights or springs or diaphragms to adjust timing versus rpm or engine manifold pressure. The ECU does all that according to a algorhythm stored in its memory.
The only thing the distributor does is "distributes" the spark energy to the spark plugs -- i.e., the rotor and cap are the only working parts left inside.
