What about that test harness I've seen on some #1 plug wires?

dude, no worries.  its not broken.  you dont need the inductive clamp
anyway.  i dont ever use mine that way, cause i think it just adds in
some error.  all you need to do is put the positive lead on the positive
terminal of the battery, and the negative lead on the negative coil
terminal.  terminal 15, IIRC.  its the one with the green/black wire.

do it that way, and the light will fire exactly when the hall sender
tells it to, as opposed to when the signal passes through the shielding
of the plug wire.  i know it probably doenst make a difference, but i'm
anal like that.
