<DIV>First problem is that if you are using the number 1 plug you will pick up the magnetic field from the ignition coil. Then you also need to get rid of the Steel core plug wires. For two reasons first they will cause problems with the timing light also they will also cause problems with the electronic ignition and will cause pre mature failure.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Try putting the pick up on the #6 plug wire.</DIV>

<DIV>Just a caution that if you are using of of the newer “digital” timing lights with this set up you are likely to have problems.</DIV>
<DIV>I have a new Pertronics distributor, flame thrower coil, and neg. earth on my 67 BJ8</DIV>
<DIV>I decided to buy a decent quality Innova 5568 modern digital timing light.</DIV>
<DIV>Phew - lots of problems and the light would not move as it was supposed to.</DIV>
<DIV>Eventually had to get complete set of new plug leads just to get it to sort of function.</DIV>
<DIV>Unit went back 3x and even today is a mystery if it will work or not.</DIV>
<DIV>It is ultra sensitive to noise and position of the magnetic pick up on plug #1</DIV>
<DIV>Moving it and inch can make the unit inoperable and erratic.</DIV>
<DIV>The manufacturer is also at a loss and not able to cure the problem for me .... grrr</DIV>
<DIV>rg</DIV>

<DIV>Hello ,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a 1966 bj8.......I have just replaced my original Lucas distributer with a new Pertronics distributer .........I turned the engine until the pointer was on the tdc mark on the pulley (on the compression stroke) and put the rotor pointing at the #1 spark plug in the dist. cap................NOW what do I do? I have a timing light with the degree dial on the back,...............what are the next steps to set the timing correctly?? do I plug the vacuum, what degrees,do I have to start the engine??? etc.................................sorry for all the questions</DIV>
