I've been reading this paragraph for a couple of days, and I'm still 
not certain I understand what it means. Yes, you may have to change 
the idle air adjustment if you change the timing. Yes, the final idle 
air adjustment must be done with the engine fully warmed up.

I have no idea what the 3 pin plug might have to do with this 
adjustment.

Yes, time it to TDC, leftmost timing mark, and set the idle with the 
timing there.
