Hi All! I have an almost stock 1600cc dp Type I with a CDI ignition, a SVDA dizzy, and a non smog 34PICT3 carb in a 1973 VW beetle.
I am having trouble connecting my timing light with this CDI that I bought from Aircooled.net/ a few years ago. I forgot how to connect it.
I tried connecting it this way: Probe to the No. 1 plug wire on the distributor cap. Red clip to Terminal 1, the (-) terminal, on the coil. Black clip to ground. This did not work.
What worked was to connect the red clip to where it gets 12 volts. and The Probe to the No. 1 plug wire on the distributor cap. And The black clip to ground. Please Help Thanks! Joseph P.
