      It's the only single one. The mark on the pulley needs to be highlighted with some whiteout. With the cam marks at 12 and 3 the pulley notch should be lined up with the 0 on the scale. Stick a piece of tape on the flat part of the pulley and rotate it till it's where you can see the notch. Highlight it. I filed the notch a little bigger on mine. I also filed a V at the right spot on the plastic scale. The pulley and cover were off when I did it.

        Believe there are two single wire connectors.
        One will ground out the computer and permit timing
        The other will shut down the engine if grounded.
        Sorry, don't know the wire color for the correct connector to ground.
        Maybe someone else here can look that up!

          The other single one is by the coil. The right one is with the multi-pin connectors near the master cylinder booster.

                  If you get the wrong one it's not going to kill your computer.
                  If the engine shuts down when you ground the connector, move to the next single connector.

                      I can check on my car tomorrow in the daylight but until then my manual shows a pic of what your looking for. The one you want is with the other unplugged connectors. The wire is yellow/green.The one by itself and more to the driver's side is the RPM test connector. It will not destroy your computer if you ground this one but the car won't run. I think is does the same thing that the ign module does momentarily to make spark because it is on the same wire as the module. It is also yellow/green.
