Static Timing with Colortune

Has anyone ever used ColorTune to do the static timing on a spit with
electronic ignition?

If so, did it work as advertised? When I tried to do mine, I had to
rotate the dizzy at so fast a speed to get the spark, that I would go
past the point at which the plug sparked. Therefore I cannot get close
to where it should be. OR, is this indicative of a weak spark and either
my coil and/or amp need replacing?

Any help/info much appreciated.

Cheers,
