Steven,
Make sure the timing light and the plug wires you're using are
compatible. The snap on timing light I have doesn't work well with the
solid copper core wires (bumblebee in my case). I swapped in a "modern"
plug wire to do the timing. This was covered in the light's manual, so
you might have a look at yours.
Cheers,
