The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Timing issues, Bosch magneto/ laurel cylinder head

In aviation, we use a magneto timing light to set the timing for the exact time the breaker points open. They are made to set two mags at a time so that they can be synchronized. On a single mag set up, only one of the lights would be necessary. It sure makes adjustment a lot easier and more accurate.
