85 Timing
My 85 is stock*as far as I know) and is running rough. I know I have a problem with the fuel vapor canister purge valve solenoid. I want to check the timing. What is the proceedure for doing this. The FSM says to look at the emissions sticker but ut is missing. Also, what does the connetion by the brake booster that I need to disconnect look like?

EST connector is a plastic connect - wire is tan/blk, unhook to set timing. If you search, there are posts that show location, but its by the wiring harness near the brake booster...Time 6* BTDC.
