Default Reading the timing mark correctly with a timing light?

how the F$%# do you do this correctly, I can get a rough estimate.

Is there a fool proof way to read the timing light?

Explain in detail please. What engine are you timing, explain your process of timing from start to end...then tell what is going wrong that you felt you needed to post...then maybe we can help.

Sorry if that sounded rude, I didn't intend it to be, just tryin to help ya out.

I bet there is a topic that covers this in depth if you search.

You're jumping the service connector, right?

Just advance your timing as much as possible without detonation.. trial and error.
