Look up a Cadillac maintenance book. Check location of ALDL terminal socket, make a jumper wire, jumper the listed terminals. Attach your timing light, and start your engine. You will be able to see, the markings on the crank shaft pulley, against the marks on the engine. Check your timing that is listed under the hood. You can adjust the timing by loosening the lock nut under the distributor special wrench needed. ALDL assembly line diagnostic link, usually located under dash. You can also check timing with a code reader with live data reading.
There's a single brown wire ussualy near the booster. Unplug that wire. Use a timing light to set the timing to zero and plug the wire back in.
