I have had some fun with a timing light myself - NO indication on my TR6
engine, and lots of flashes on my GT6 engine - turned out that the
spark-plug wires were getting old and worn (and probably didn't allow for as
much current through them). After I switched them around, flashes on the TR6
;-) - so if your wires are not new and 'high quality' - go get a set.
Maybe that is an option to explore,
