Timing

According to the sticker under the hood, timing is supposed to be set with the plug to the distributor disconnected, the EST. When I tried this though the car wouldn't start? Any ideas? Thanks

Re: Timing

Are you sure you've got the right plug disconnected?

Actually I disconnected the wrong one. After reading the Chilton's manual I found out the right way, thanks.
