Thanks Purdy, found it on Charlie Yapp's web site. He still lists it, but says "temporarily sold out"

I use an induction pickup timing light right around the brass strips - Works fine.

My timing light is so old it doesn't have the induction pickup.

Bill, you can always put a piece of "rubber" fuel line around the brass strip to insulate it while you are doing the test.

bettlesr,
Here's a photo of my Elan. Came across another one a few days ago and was tempted to ask about it but I know my wife would not be happy with it or me!
Back to my Model B dist going into my Model A... I relized that the distance from the cap to spark plugs is caused by my use of the smaller type plugs, not the bigger plugs. No biggy as I picked up the longer plug connectors today and they fit perfectly.
