John,

Glad to hear someone else has seen this.  I have wondered whether what I was
seeing was real since you wouldn't be able to tell there was an issue if you
didn't use the timing light.  This was not present until the end of last
driving season; could my alternator be on its last legs?

I watched the video and I've seen the same effect on my car.  I believe 
it has to do with the placement of the inductive pickup on the timing 
light and its proximity to the  alternator.  If I move the pickup to 
different locations, the flashing becomes steady.   John Mitchell 76 TR6
