Timing Light Shows Timing Connected Backwards.
1986 Camaro NO ELECTRONICS
4 Barrel Holley-NON COMPUTER
STAND ALONE DISTRIBUTOR
FORD 5.0 COIL PACK
LOW PSI ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP
Anyhow, everything wired correctly, when at idle checking timing, I only show spark WITH THE NEGATIVE TIMING LIGHT LEAD, ON THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL, AND THE POSITIVE LEAD ON THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL.
Is this bad? is there an error I can fix?
When I check other cars, the light works great wired correctly to their batteries.

Re: Timing Light Shows Timing Connected Backwards.
Are you sure the coil is hooked up properly?
The negative side of the primary should be connected to the trigger; the positive side of the primary should be connected to battery voltage.
