I use a static light.  Not perfect but works. Set your gap first on both
points, then like Tools said do the left first then the right. Rotate the
motor to the timing point for the left side, then hook up the light and
turn on the ignition. Rotate the plate until the light comes on then back
it off until it goes out. Turn off the ignition then tighten the plate
screws and then rotate the motor (clock wise) to the second timmin mark and
set the second set.  If the gap is correct it should be real close.  I have
also used cigarette paper putting it between the points and setting
the timing to where you can pull the paper out from between the points with
a little drag but not tearing the paper.

WHAT????? You hook up the timing light, and start the engine. Then set the timing marks. Just how young are, you guys?
