OK, I went out and bought a timing light; an actron inductive timing light. How in the hell do i check the timing on this baby? I need every step broken down. Even the terms you use to describe the parts of the car. I thought I would just hook the baby up and push a button and see a number! This thing doesnt even have numbers on it. I was flashing it on the timing mark metal piece, and every once in a blue moon I would see like 3 marks only for a second. Is this the right kind of timing light i need, or should i get the more expensive one that might have numbers on there? Boy oh boy, this should be simple
