I'm trying to set the initial timing on my car prior to setting dwell and adjust using strobe light.
What is the easiest way to turn the engine over to static time everything? |

Just plug one plug into it's wire and lay it down on top of the engine.
Crank the engine, and you should see the spark. Still not sure, just pick it up while cranking and there will be no question. |
