Most any hobbyist familiar with engine tuning can relate to the usefulness of an inductive timing light. It consists of a strobe that's triggered by the electrical impulses passing through a spark ...

The type of timing light you need will depend to a large extent on the engine (or engines) that you want to work on. Most, but by no means all, ignition systems are powered by 12-volt batteries ...
