Electrical Problem

[88SDIME]

I JUST CHECKED MY PLUG WIRES AND SINCE THE LAST TIME I TOOK OUT THE DIST TO REPLACE THE PICKUP COIL, I PUT THE WIRES BACK ON THE CAP IN THE WRONG PLACES. ONCE I FIXED THE WIRES IN THE CORRECT FIRING ORDER IT STARTED RIGHT UP, NOW I JUST NEED TO SET TIMING. I CAN'T BELIVE THAT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT EASY..........

You need to find and unplug the base timing wire .
Single Tan wire with a black stripe.
On yours it will be near dist or on fire wall to left of fuel pump relay and fuse under the black plastic cover taped to the wiring harness.

The Wire I Found Under The Passenger Dash Near The Ecm. When I Set The Timing There Were 3 Teeth To Set The Timing Mark To: Looking From Left (pass) To Right (driver), Which Mark Is Top Dead Center Or "0". I Used The Farthest Left, And It Seems To Be Running Good, But I Just Want To Make Sure.

Clean the marker off real good.
Sand and scrape it off.
There should be a 0 and a 5 and 10 or something like that there.
The 0 may have a little deeper notch.
