If the starter solenoid is visible, connect the positive lead of you're light to the the battery positive side. Anywhere on the engine (assuming it's grounded) would be suitable for the negative lead. Then attach thr timing light connection to the no. 1 spark plug wire. 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8, counterclockwise... no. 1 being the spark plug farthest forward.
