save yourself a buck fiddy and just grab the head with one hand and the plug wire with the other. you'll know if you have spark. hurts a bit but... eh.
oh and this is what Arkmage needs to test his timing.

I just stuff a spark plug into the wire...easy enough.
or stuff a random wire up in the plug wire to make contact and let the other end sit near a ground point....you can see the arch from the wire.

yeah I think everyone here has stuck a screwdriver by the plug and strained to look for a spark. And when you don't see one, you readjust the screwdriver and try again.
This thing is cool because it makes the spark easy to see. Or not. And it's a buck fiddy.
I am going to get 4 and run them all the time to impress the kiddies at NOPi when I open the hood.

I was using my 9 dollar heat gun from HF the other day when it started sounding like it was turbocharged. Damn thing went wild and started shooting lots of sparks out of it. Threw it down and unplugged it. Damn thing might have been used twenty times. I have got to wean myself off of HF. Thing is they just opened a store in my city.
