You do need a spark to trigger an inductive timing light that clamps onto a
plug wire. ...bill in oregon

I'm not sure that a timing light will work if there isn't spark. I would
think you'd need a complete circuit to make an inductive pulse. Can anyone
confirm or refute this?
Anyway, if the plugs are sparking, then that isn't your problem. Are you
sure the timing chain is indexed correctly? Does it ever sputter or do
anything to indicate that it's even remotely interested in starting?
