New timing lights arent that good for a Healey.
I have a Innova Equus 5568, that automatically senses when you run the
engine and goes into that mode.
If it doesnt sense ignition it shows voltage. It can sense ignition for max
10 sec, thats the time you have to put in the 15 deg. BTDC and also measure.
It resets if it looses the ignition signal.

Thanks for the replies, folks. I always enjoy it when I get to benefit from
Team.Net ;-)
I should have mentioned in my original post that the car, "professionally"
restored in 2010, is fitted with a Mallory dual point distributor. Just the
basic points and condensor setup, no electronic fanciness.
Monday I plan to take my old Craftsman timing light down to the shop. There
have been occasions before where the fancy new electronic timing lights get
totally whacked out by the electrical noise generated by these old cars.
Sometimes you need period tools to work on period cars.
