how do i set the timing on a car w/cab i read that there is a brown/black wire to disconnet i dont see a brown/black wire

 

Is your distributor cap separate from your coil? if it is then the ignition module underneath the distributor cap has two plugs, I believe you unplug the first one to the left... you will notice a decrease in rpm and your idle will be noticeably different...

 

what does w/cab mean?

I thought there was a yellow/brown wire on firewall near brake booster. It protrudes out of wire harness with a male/female. Disconneting removes control from ECU. Initial spark timing I recall is somewhere on a label under hood for you car/motor. Mine I recall was 6 dSA.

 

I believe he meant Carb...

you know on the actual prep work, on mine I have to either ground the ECM at the diagnostic port, or pull the connector from the ignition module...

 

yes carb, point me in the right direction of ecu. and the coil is built in the cap.

 

the 4 wire connector to the dizzy

 

cant find yellow/brown as I stated? Is your dist stock controlled by ECU(rpm/map referenced)? Or is it traditional mechanical centifugal/vac?

 

For a CCC large cap distributor it is what chads89ta posted. There should be a 4-wire connector near the base of the distributor. The wires exit from the distributor at the base of the cap. Disconnect the 4-wire connector to put the distributor into bypass mode.

i found it thanks.
