timing

[Poppa]

Hey all. I want to check my timing as I just got done changing the intake manifold gasket. In my manual it says to 'disengage the timing connector' ,what/where is this? Is it one of the two connectors coming out the side of my distributor? This is for a 94 5.7 Yukon.

If I am a tooth off ,will just adjusting the timing be ok? Thanks for your time

You have to disconnect the timing advance wire (brown single wire connector) IIRC it is inside the cab under glove box? Someone correct me if I am wrong... been a bit since I had a TBI....

Should be under the hood, on the firewall on the passenger side. There is a black cover on the firewall secured by several plastic nuts that you can usually remove by hand. Take that cover off and the connector should be on the right side closest to the engine. single wire. Just unplug it.

Mine was a 95, so it was a bastard year so I dont know for shure....

I'm not positive either. I had a 94 Silverado and that is where it was on it. Should be the same setup.

Found it ,thanks. Behind glove box.

NP, some are near distributor, some are behind glovebox....

What the heck engineer went from near the distributor, where it should be, to behind the glove box? Not a clearance problem, right?! I remember this now. I wanted to strangle the guy! Oh well, go figure.

Late model ones were like that, earlier ones were near distributor....
