The vette won't start!!!!!!!!
Its TPI and got new accel injectors, new fuel pump, and new fuel filter. The old fuel filter was really clogged 
But now the car will just turnover and won't fire up.
I also checked the fuses and are fine.
What else could it be?

On the drivers side close to the firewall between the wiper motor and the brake booster there is a single wire called the EST (if I remember correct)it's brown and tan-with a plug-you just unplug it and set your base timing, on my 87 I found it runs great at 8 degrees. When you've finishished your base timing shut the motor off reconnect the wire and start-it may throw a code-just disconnect the battery for a few minutes. If your sticker on the radiator schroud is still there it will tell you what your timing should be.Hope this helps.
