Re: need timing help

Theres a brown wire in the harness near where the a/c blower motor is. It has a black connector which you disconnect.

Usually there's only one mark on the balancer, and there are several markings and numbers on the tab fixed to the timing chain cover. Those numbers should guide you, but they are usually 1 or 2degs.
