The balancer ring has probably slipped. GM keeps them in stock. The rubber rings fail. My Monte started to scrape on the timing cover. Also if the timing won't hold steady when checking it, the timing chain is most likely the cause.

Yeah, I knew the ring had slipped. But, I made a new mark on the balancer when I had #1 on TDC. Using the new mark I cannot get the base timing down out of the twenties.

Not being condescending here, are you sure it's the timing connector you've unplugged? I'd double check that part by having someone unplug it for you while you keep your timing light on the balancer mark. You've got me scratching my head on this one....

Well, the tan wire that I have unplugged is right behind the distr. and it's lone. I just had someone say that it's on the passenger side in front of the heater. When I go back over there (brother's car), I'll check.

Hmmm
Not sure but if I remeber correctly(and dont hold me to this as I dont know which dist you have , small cap or largecap, bit I am curious if you have unhooked the right wire but I dont have Mitchel manual around to double check till Monday.
If i remember correctly the timing mark on stock balancers should be straight up, make sure you dont have wrong tab with wrong balancer too.
If you have a large cap dist the EST line is in the 4 wire connector from the dist.
But something is nagging me in my brain Ill subscribe to this one and keep it in mind.
