CONNECTING THE MSD TIMING LIGHT
1. Connect the inductive pickup to the timing light harness.
2. With the engine off, connect the Black clip to the negative (-) terminal on the battery. Connect the
Red clip to the positive (+) terminal on the battery. The voltage should be between 10-16 volts
(Figure 1).
3. Clamp the inductive pickup over the number 1 spark plug wire (See Figure 1). The position of the
inductive pickup does not matter but the wire must fit in the gap between the jaws of the pickup
(Figure 2). Do not pinch the wire between the end of the jaws. Consult your vehicle's service
manual to locate the number 1 cylinder on your engine.
