EST Wire and best time setting!

Hello everybody, I gotta 93 chevy caprice can anyone show me the exact spots and or picture of this est wire is located and the engine is 350tbi swapped from a 94g30 van Ive been at it for days and I've been told it could be in multiple spots still got the same wire harness for the caprice. Original block was a 305. Also wat is the best considered time setting for this type of motor, thanks!

why is my question locked what does that mean I sen ppl viewed it what is goin on?

not locked on my screen:shakehead

EST wire should be on the passenger side fender well or on the firewall on that side. It's a single wire. Brown with a Black stripe.

cd smalley I looked for exactly two hours in the direct sunlight no go I know the color but do I cut it then wrp it together also there are a bunch of wire over there...none of them with a connector!

No need to cut it. There is a weather-pack connector on it.

Should be located on the engine wire harness, next to the left valve cover (watching engine front) next to the air injection control valve.

I ain't the smartest ant in the candy wrapper but what is a weather pack?

It's the type of connector that GM uses on its wiring harnesses.

I see that but what does the weather look like? I'ma try to find it again tomorrow you gotta pics of it? And when you say air injection valve do you mean the IAC motor?

I believe he means the A.I.R. diverter valve. This is the valve which controls the flow of air from the air injection pump to the exhaust manifolds.

A WeathPack connector is a type of electrical connector designed by the Packard Electric Division (you'll often read "PED" on the body of these connectors) of General Motors. They are now sold under the Delphi name and many other auto manufacturers now use them because they are a superior design. The connector you need to find is a single wire connector looking something like this:

EST - The same connector as in the picture above, but for a 305 check beside the throttle body over the intake manifold on the passenger side. That's where it was on my '91 Caprice, although the casing was a different colour.



As for the timing, I would like to say 4deg. BTDC? However, what I like to do is set up a vacuum gauge and set the timing with that.

I think 0* is what you'll find on the emissions sticker. I personally have played with 0-6*BTDC in my 89. 4* probably gives a slight SOTP boost. But I had pinging issues at times with 4* and had to go back to 0*.
