87 timing
I know this is an easy one! I went to check my timing so I looked in the Chilton. I know to disconnect Ecm but my wiring harness is in the way???? How do you get to the cream and black disconnect wire????

It should be over near the rear of the distributor and wiper motor with a weatherpack connector you can disconnect there.

You disconnect the EST wire to the distributor, not the whole ECM.

Mine is by itself, on the drivers side of the engine bay underneath the brake booster.

Single tan/black stripe wire. After you disconnect it and set your timing, you will need to disconnect the battery for a few seconds to clear the code 43.
