Adjustable Timing Light - How does it work? - Team Chevelle
2001年11月21日 · The adjustable timing lights are good for getting a "range" on the dynamic timing of your engine. I prefer putting a timing tape on the balancer and using a conventional rather than an adjustable timing light. I think the timing tape method is more accurate.
Dialback Timing Light vs Regular Timing Light And...
2021年10月19日 · Put a tape on it and use your regular timing light. Then see what your dial back reads. I have a Sun regular inductive TL , a Snapon MT1261A , and a Crapsman dial back. The Snapon is 1 degree off (short) per 1000 rpm and the crapsman is dead nuts accurate. Go figure.
Dial-Back Timing Light 101! - Team Chevelle
2008年2月25日 · Never use the coil as a source of timing light power. Number One ignition wire must be well separated from the other wires on the engine. Spark cross over from other wires can easily influence timing light performance. Be positive that the inductive pickup clamp is correctly oriented. Virtually all timing light clamps have arrows or ...
Using timing light with HEI - Team Chevelle
2007年11月14日 · And, red and black wires with alligator clips as well, those are red for battery positive, black for battery negative, they power up the timing light. The green wire sounds like it is the dwell sensor wire, and should go to the negative (TACH) side of the coil, on an HEI, the TACH terminal on the cap.

2009年12月27日 · 2)The timing light I have always used is a Sunpro(Actron #7519) dial back style.

Dial Back Timing Light on the dyno - Team Chevelle
2021年7月2日 · Also, MSD multi-spark does not compute timing, it fires the initial analog timing, then creates more timing events after that. As RPM's rise, the number of multi-sparks reduces to one spark per event, per cylinder after around 3K RPM's. There is NO computer timing correction, they first fire as the distributor advances tell them to.
timing lights - Team Chevelle
2010年3月27日 · When using MSD boxes or any aftermarket ignition box, your best bet to get an accurate reading is to use the most basic timing light you can find. I got mine at Pep Boys for $39 IIRC. Works like a charm. Digital, dial back and advance timing lights will throw off the readings because of the multiple sparks that the MSD box delivers at lower rpms.
