18436572 0 degrees BTDC The base timing must be set to 0 degrees with the timing connector conduit disconnected to bypass automatic timing. With timing set to 0 degrees, reconnect the conduit and the computer controles the timing. This conduit is located on the wiring harness on the right side of the firewall, under a Y shaped plastic cover. It is a one wire connection that protrudes from the wiring harness. It is a tan/black stripe wire.
First place there is no need to set the timing if the distributor has not been moved. And there is no wire to unhook.The ignition timing is controled by the ECM / engine control module. If the timing is off you will have a check engine light on. If the light is not on, then the timing is correct. No need to bother, The computer is taking care of it.You have to have a OBD II engine scanner to set the timing.
0 TDC / Top dead center.
A 1976 Chevy did not have a points ignition, but that has nothing to do with the correct timing. You will find that the engine runs best with about 8-12 degrees BTDC.
Timing chain
This should use a crank sensor- so the timing is controlled by the computer and no adjustment provisions are there.
YES!!! The pistons WILL contact the valves and destroy the engine if the timing is not correct.
separate a timing connector on the firewall in engine bay which allows you to time the engine,then adjust the distributor.The connector is on the drivers side below the cowl and when separated the engine will run differently.
advance your timing 6 degrees due to this ethanol crap fuel we run now
