thanks for all the advice guys this site is second to none when it comes to technical advice.i got the car timed (36) degrees and running smooth.i really have no explanation why it was reading in the 50 and 60,s before.the only thing i changed was isolating the 1 wire from the rest when i attached the pickup for the light it might have been picking up some pulses from the number 3 wire even though i'm running taylor 8.8mm wires.i also had the leads that go to the battery for the light hooked to my dodge diesel battery which runs dual 12 volts because the battery for my nova is in the trunk.do you think the dual batteries affected the light i wouldnt think it would cause its still 12 volts.when i timed it tonight i ran the positive lead down to the starter and the ground to the frame and it worked fine.anyways it sounds great i cant wait to get it on the road and strip!!!!
thanks again to all who responded you guys are all a bunch of stand up guys!!!!
