I wasn't even aware these motors were timed with a light. I was under the impression they have a fuzzy logic type of circuit that self corrects until the need for correction is gone and if erased, will take about ten minutes driving around to reset.
I just assumed since it didn't have an indicator , unlike the cars I knew about, it didn't need one. I am the type of guy who would be checking my computer against a timing light , just for useless information, since it's a clean job.

The computer can be out of phase with mechanical, so I’d imagine a tuner would like to verify his readings against the mechanical TDC. I like the idea of having a reference point for valve spring swaps and torquing the rockers.
The thought of sticking a straw through the spark plug hole to find TDC gives me the creeps now. There was a time I did **** like that, but when I got into higher dollar racing levels I changed my way of thinking.
