Failing smog. No fun. But good on ya for a positive spirit about it.
On my 1998 DX stock setting is 12* BTDC ... go online looking for the Honda service manual for your car and check there.
In my last smog, I almost failed in one category. The tech said I should suspect the O2 sensors if I had never changed them. A few weeks later, I got a CEL for the upstream sensor. Pulled it and found it was ridiculously fouled. So I replaced it. Your 92 only had one sensor. Check it. Replace it with a good one. I'd do that before plugs and such, since your ECU uses the sensor to set AFR.
