Re: Timing ????
there is no sensor involved,unplug the est wire engine off/ignition off.
start the engine(est wire still unplugged)
set the timing to 6 degrees.you may want to mark the timing tabs on the indicator next to the harmonic balancer for better viewing during timing set.
then turn off the engine,plug the est wire back in and you should be good to go.
BTW,welcome to TGO!

Re: Timing ????
there are many posts on correct timeing for pretty stock engs. . the wire bundle over the heater/blower box has a wire . if i remember right its brown/black stripe . dis-connect this , set timeing to 0% , re-connect . you should be good to go . good luck .
