just curious if anyone knows where the timing is supposed to be once the wire gets plugged back in?

 

forgot to mention my vehicle. 1988 S-10 Blazer 4.3 TBI

 

I believe it is 6 degrees before top dead center.

Although unless you put on a new timing chain, you shouldn't be messing with the timing. After that the computer adjusts the timing based on the crank/cam position sensors, and knock sensor.
