am i right in thinking that if you connect a standard timing light onto an edis4 ignition system, if the timing is 10 degrees (standard edis4) that the timing will read 20 degrees because of the waste spark. What the mind can conceive the mini can achieve

a standard dumb light will be ok, an electronic one will probably read double as you say. On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

It will still flash with the sparks but twice per rotation and should still read 10deg if thats what it is set to but if you watch closely it will also flash 180degrees later where there is no markings on the crank wheel, in reality you can just use it like normal unless it is one of the newer electronic types that might get confused Yes i moved to the darkside |

You can use modern timing lights with the tachometer and degree advance indicators, so long as you set them for zero degrees. they work just like any other timing light then. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:
Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

If you connect the light to plug 1 then it will fire for 1 and 4. They both fire at the same angle relative to No1 TDC. Therefore it will show the correct angle, but flash twice as often. So the angle shown will be corrct, but if it estimates rpm that will be double.
