Help!!! What should my timing be??

I was trying to do a full tune up on my stock L03 (88) auto. I cant find the VECI label. I have an emission test coming up and need to pass!! What is the stock timing with the EST disconnected? Keith

L03 autos run at 0° BTDC. Just set it straight up.

i found by setting the timing at 0 degrees with the EST the computer retards the timing even more. I even have only 93 octane in there...I keep it set at around 10 degrees without the EST hooked up then when i hook it up it takes it to about 20...seems alittle high to me but i guess the computer knows whats up
