Timing Question

[95 Silverado]

On my '95 chevy 5.7 V8, the sticker under the hood says to "disconnect the timing connector for the distributor to put the timing control into bypass mode" this will allow me to set the base timing with the distributor. Where can I find this connector?

Look on the pass firewall a single wire connector with at least a brown wire.

 

Stop engine, turn off ign. Unplug connector, restart engine, reset timing. Turn off ign, unplug battery or ECM fuses for 5 mins., plug timing connector together. Return ECM power, restart engine.

Below the glove box area, there is a wiring loom.  (do not take out the glove box, it is under the glove box area) There will be one wire that brakes out of the loom with a black conecter, unplug this befor starting the truck. After timing it, shut off the truck and reconect the conecter. Disconect the battery for 20sec to reset the computer.  ;)

Thanks guys, I'll check these out and see if I can find that connector

I found it, The connector was under the glove box, Thanks again for your help.

So where do you put the initial timing?  my Sub is a 93 5.7

I set it at 10 BTDC but that's too much, the knock sensor can barely help.

if it's still there, go by the emissions sticker under the hood. My '95 TBI 5.7 calls for 0 degrees. If it's missing, check your owners manual or a service manual for the tune-up specs.

My Chilton's just directs you to the underhood sticker. Sorry I couldn't be of anymore help.
