See below and Good Luck

IGNITION TIMING 4.3L WITH DISTRIBUTOR
Set parking brake, block drive wheels and place transmission in Neutral or Park. Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Turn A/C off (if equipped). Ensure Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is off.
Disconnect Tan/Black Electronic Spark Timing (EST) by-pass connector wire. DO NOT disconnect 4-wire connector at distributor.

On models where engine computer is located underhood, on right fenderwell, by-pass connector which is a single Tan/Black wire, breaks out of wiring harness near engine computer harness connectors.

On models where engine computer is located in passenger compartment under right side of instrument panel, by-pass connector which is a single Tan/Black wire, breaks out of wiring harness where heater box and carpet meet on passenger side floor. Pull back carpet to expose single Tan/Black wire and connector on outside of control module harness.
On all models, connect timing light to No. 1 spark plug wire. Check timing and adjust if necessary. See IGNITION TIMING . Reconnect EST by-pass connector. Clear Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).
