I've searched and searched some more for the tan wire with the black stripe that you have to disconnect to adjust timing. It's not there!!! Does every thirdgen with a 305 have it? I have a CC Quadrajet if that helps. Is there another way to adjust it if the wire can't be found?

The carbed cars don't do it that way.

There's a 4-pin connector that comes off the back of the dist, usually hangs down into the trans tunnel. That's the one you have to disconnect.
