I got ahold of a nice timing light with the tach and dwell meter on the back.....so how do I use this on a rotary. Ive actually had this question for a long time but I didnt have the light so I didnt ask.
I need to know how to use this on both the 13b and the 12a. Any help would be great.

Hook up the clamp style inductive pickup to the front rotor leading spark plug, ground the negative terminal/clamp, put the postive clamp/terminal on the + battery terminal, point and click at the pulley..

What about the trailing timing? The adjustment on the side of the distributor? Do I do the same with the #1 trailing??
