Just reading in my Gregorys...

Some types of timing lights are not compatible with this type of electronic ignition & may result in incorrect readings
I have an old(er) style light here - pre elec ignition & on-board computers, do I need to get a more modern type...if so, what brand/type is recommended please?

I am still using the pickup type that

clips on to the battery for the light

and a clip pickup over the number one lead

no problems

the lightbulb could be brighter ... it is hard to pick up the timing mark sometimes

Cool, thanks magna buff :)
That's the type I've got

As for the brightness of the light, you must have the same as me, I'm getting onto 50 now & ALL lights have gotten dimmer :bowrofl:

you can even use the old style lights on cars like skylines that don't run distributers. you just have to know how.
