Hey guys new member here, I just bought a 89 k1500 last week with a bad motor. It was a 5.0 truck originally but somebody had done put a 350 in it.

So I bought a used 350 out of a 95 to go back in it. I put all the sensors and throttle body off the 350 that was in the truck on the motor I bought. I got the motor back in it and now having problems. I know your supposed to unplug the est wire and set it to 0 on the time and plug it back in. But when I do that the truck runs rough and hesitates bad. I can unplug the est and advance it myself and it runs great. Anybody got a clue what the problem could be? Can I drive the truck with it unplugged and not cause any damage? Any help is much appreciated.
