I have read somewhere that multiple spark discharge systems need a special timing light to accuratly check timing. I have since looked for such lights and have been unable to come across one. Do I really need a certain one? I am running the Accell 300+ which is multiple spark discharge and none of the literature it comes with says anything about a special light.

• Midrange cam

• Polyuerethane Suspension bushings all around
• ILE Aluminum Driveshaft
• Full Autometer Instrumentation (10 guages)
• Dupont custom pearl paint with flames and 6 ultra-thick clear coats
• and the list goes on...

 

I use an inexpensive timing light and it works fine.

 

My inductive timing light doesn't like the multiple sparks. I have to bypass the box to set/check the timing. That's probably what you'll have to do.

 

My cheap light also works fine.

my snap on light doesn't seem to work as well on msd ignition systems as my much cheaper one from sears.
