Failed smog. Real time help needed Update 700

Let me first thank all of you for the suggestions and help. I took the car out for a drive yesterday to burn off any glue. Before I left I added some Redline fuel injector cleaner. I drove it for about an hour. Now currently the idle on the vehicle seems to have smoothed out according to the stock tach. The car ran pretty good. Went up the Cajon Pass @ 65-70 with no problem.

How accurate is the stock tach? The idle seems to be a little high according to it, 1000rpms. When I first start it it goes to about 1200 then settles at 1000. Yesterday I had my Sears tach hooked up and it showed the idle at 720-760 with the timing @12 degrees.

Here are the total test results from the pretest


HC
15mph max 116 meas 152
25mph max 92 meas 137

CO
15mph max .74 meas .76
25mph max .62 meas .71

NO
15mph max 791 meas 2537
25mph max 730 meas 2641

The report also said that my timing failed (Results Ignition timing TDC)
The timing I do not understand because it is supposed to be set at 12 degrees and thats what it shows on the timing belt case with the light. There is only 10 and 20 degrees marked on the case. Would the car even run at TDC? Could the belt have slipped and cause this?

I didn't get a chance to mess with the TPS yesterday and won't be able to check it till this afternoon. I will post back later after checking it.
