Re: help timing (dave g)
There's a single wire with a Weatherpak connector next to the master brake cylinder;. On mine, it's taped to the big wire loom. The wire is tan with a thin black stripe.
Make sure you clean off the timing tab so you can read the markings. GM has stamped numbers corresponding to some of the lines/notches, but they're hard to read. 6* BTDC is what you want. (Line between 4* and 8*). (Duh!) :D
You will probably have to disconnect your battery neg cable to clear the SES code when you're done.
I had to buy a special wrench to get to the distributor hold-down bolt. Couldn't get a combo or box-end in there.
