[Healeys] Timing light query

[Michael Oritt]

Simon--

The 12VDC lead does not need to go to the battery, merely a source of power
whether or not it is part of your car's electrical system.  I don't know
how your engine is configured but you can take power off of the starter
solenoid, coil hot lead, etc. etc.  Polarity does matter, however.
