How to hook up timing light on M50?

[Jon K]

Can someone let me know how I hook up an inductive timing light to an M50 motor, there are 6 coils not one and no spark plug wires so I am a bit confused.

pop #1 coil out and replace the boot with a regular plug wire that you can clamp a regular light to

I dont have a regular plug wire Any other ideas?

junkyard, buddys car, mall parking lot, it just needs to have a compatable end, the coil is the type with the stud in the center

I dont have a regular plug wire Any other ideas?

i remember my mechanic did it once to my skyline, but he clamped the inducter pickup to a normal wire on the wire loom, not the plug wire, dont know if the m50 has that type of system, cause they both use the same kind of coil packs as the skyline
sorry i cant be of more help

i think it needs to be the high voltage current TNT, so that the inductor pigs up the noise.

Alan_525i is coming over tomorrow I will snag a wire off his car
