timing lights, most of them have three wires, two go on the battery and the other wire on the #1 spark plug. Some of the newer ones have a pickup that clamps over the plug wire, the older ones have a spring that you put between the spark plug and plug wire boot. once the light is hooked up turn down your lights,start the engine, point the gun at the timing marks and pull the trigger you'll see the timing marks in the light flashes. You normally set the timing at an idle or specified RPM. If you speed up the engine you'll see if advance is working because the timing marks will move, eventually out of what you see with the light. Some fancier lights have a dial on them were you can set the light to flash so many degrees off the pick up signal, so if your looking to set the timing at 15* BTDC you dial in 15 on the knob and the thing will flash 15* late so you twist the distributor until you see TDC to time it. If you know the distributor is supposed to advance 30* at 2700 RPMs dial in 30* on the light run the engine at 2700 and you should see TDC in the window with the light.
