EST wire can be found on the driver's side near firewall, brown or tan
with black line on it. Be careful when you disconnect it.
I did find this when I was doing some research.
"the tan & black is the HEI disconnect, it's part of the wiring harness and it has
a brown connector on MOST 82's, however some early ones didn't have it, in which
case you have to install one yourself. It's part of the EST harness that goes
into the back of the distributor base, not the 2 connectors (+ & -/tach) for
the coil."
Remember you are looking to disconnect the EST buy pass not HEI
