No good deed goes unpunished...
At some point I lent my trusty, old timing light (dial back style) to someone. No idea who and no one so far has offered to return it. So, I need a new one. Couple of problems though. * Most new(er) dial back and (all) digital lights reportedly don't work with a multi-spark CDI ignition system. * Assuming I need to now buy a "simple" (non-advance) light. How the hell do I know what my timing is set at? Certainly I can hit the 27 BTDC mark and goof around from there, but I'd really like to know EXACTLY what my timing is set at! What do others with an MSD or Mallory use? If using a "simple" light, how do you hit, say 28-30 BTDC? -Aaron |

Does anyone know where to get a replacement clamp-style pickup for an old timing light? Mine disintegrated from age and I can get it to work with rubber bands and tape but it's a royal PITA. I have MSD and was going to buy a new light but after reading this I need to keep my old one going. Thanks
