I usually use the plus (15) side of the coil for power, and connect ground anywhere on the block.

Subject: Timing light connections

At the risk of sounding like a simpleton would someone
please let me know where to get the 12V connection for
a timing light in the engine compartment. My instincts
tell me it should be at the alternator but I'm not
100%sure. Also the location of the other connections
would be helpful also.
TIA,
