Great idea George! I'm gonna make a WAG....and say the header collector bolted to the left motor mount support is a holster for your timing light. :)

Yep, Holster for the Timing Light.

Handy to have it right there all hooked up ready to go.

Here is another little trick I am doing, using a new Points Distributor for the first start ups on the run stand.

With the points distributor you can see exactly when the points first open and fire the plugs, giving the ability to set the timing to 10 degrees BTDC before the engine even starts.

Will see how close I am when checking with the timing light on first start. The less variables the sooner the engine gets to 2000 rpm and properly breaks in the cam.
