How´d you do that?

Look for a break in the pattern of the light firing. Don’t do this if you have epilepsy in the family.

Greetings,
I was not able to locate a timing light, but I did install a different set of Volvo bougicord plug wires that I picked up at a PNP. That seems to have addressed the slight skipping sensation of the car at cruising speed!
