Timing light for electronic ignition

[Ron]

I plan to install a Light Speed Plasma III electronic ignition on my
Lycoming and the use of an automotive timing light is required. Prices
rang from a few dollars to several hundred. What to do??? Can anyone
recommend a suitable timing light for this task?

Thanks.............Ron Gibbs

CHEAP! Or even better, rent one from a local auto parts store.

I tried a cheap one when I got my LSE. Didn't work. Not anywhere bright
enough. Aan auto mechanic uses his timing light in the depths of an engine
compartment, with the hood providing shade, in a garage.

I had to to it in the sunlight, out side. The cheap one didn't work a lick.
Wound up spending $60, and it could still be brighter.

You didn't think outside the box. Around here, it is partially dark,
without being too dark, two times per day. ;-)

Maybe you have the Hall effect module that fits into the magneto housing.
I have a dual LSE II but with the direct crank sensor and I simply
use the propeller position to adjust it. Dont think I am more off than
a degree and can easily change it to get optimal performance.
