any one will do,remember it has wasted spark tho and if a rev counter is fitted it will show 2X revs unless you set it to 8 cylinders

If you've got the sort of timing light that clips over the plug lead (inductive type) then you may find that you get a rubbish or unreliable
flash when clipped onto plug lead 1 - the easy answer is to either clip onto lead 4, or to turn the clip over.
I thought my Megajolt / EDIS was knackered until I worked that one out...

I used a gunson from halford timing light.
Worked perfectly on an edis 6 setup.
Because of wasted spark remember that you will get 2 flashes, so once per rpm (might limit top rpm capabilities).

I think the conrodkid means if the strobe has a built in tachometer then it will read 2x the RPM which is quite correct.

just plug your laptop in and run the car with the software open and you will be able to see the ignition map change on screen if it is working
correctly
