I posted to this thread in 2014 while doing research in building a timing light. I never followed up with the result. It is a finished project and has been working great.

Click to play video. Excuse the rapping noise. The inductive timing light was laying against the power steering pump vibrating/ making the noise while I held the camera with one hand and operating the throttle with the other.
