EZ pull distributor tool, DIY (Page 2/2) reinhart MAY 11, 07:13 AM quote Originally posted by hobbywrench: Another shout out to this great forum. My 30 year old timing light provides candle power so I tried a tip from the archive of clipping the inductive pickup connector to the coil wire. EUREKA! A sparkly starburst which hovers over the desired 10 degree mark (baseline) , and about 4 times brighter. Just what these weak eyes needed. I've always used the coil wire. I never understood the idea of taking an average of 1 and 4. As far as brightness, never noticed a diference but it did seem to jump around less on the coil than on an individual wire.
