I have tried both over the years and I never felt you got the right readings off the coil wire. I have had alot of ASE Master Tech teachers over the years and none of them every used it, and besides all the books I"ve ever seen explain to use the #1 cylinder with the light pickup as close to the plug as you can get it to time the ignition system. It makes sense to me because of where you want the spark in relation to piston placement(Don"t think the coil would be that accurate when you think about it)

Only reason some of you think it is better because it makes it easier to see.........Put a mark on TDC with a paint pen along with the farthest advanced and retarded positions and you"ll be amazed at how easy you can see what your doing.
