TL blinking LED

[Bruins]

I'm tring to get my TL set up today and the LED blings slowly when I am rolling the motor over. Anyone know what this means? I double checked the pickups off the flywheel and the coil wiring, it all seems to be correct and I'm getting spark. But it wont fire. Any help?

you may have one of the dip switches set for checking the static timing. not sure which one it is though. it should say on the back.

That's indication the plug(s) is/are firing.

right. but isnt there a DIP sw setting thatll kill all advancing and/or retarding so you can set your static timing via LED?

Yes, there is. But I believe the LED still blinks in normal operation. Setting static timing merely turns the juice to the coils off.

Yep, when the motor turns over, the LED blinks as the flywheel magent passes over the pickups (even in normal running mode). When you kill the engine, the LED will slowly blink on and off until the power is cycled to the brain. This is normal, and that info is direct from MSD themselves.
