Default Ignition Timing Question

ALL I have read says nothing about this but the sticker on my radiator infers; to have car in 'DR' which I assume to be DRIVE, when timing base ignition...

Any other car (with auto transmission) I've ever done, I did with car in Neutral or park.

Anyone?

Open the EST connector in the Tan/Blk wire near the brake booster and time it at idle in P.

Cheers, I knew about ESt connector - WHY do you think they have 'DR' listed?
