    DO a search for buzz box on ebay for pictures. They are not a continuity light, they are designed to sense the resistance shift when the points break.

    I have one like this.

    I like Waynes though, as it has an audible alarm along with the light.

    If you have a cheapo continuity tester, multi meter, etc…, then yes, the points leads need to be taken off. If you have the proper tool, they don’t.

    I did it for a while with a simple analog meter, but I always needed to remove the leads. I found at times, when re connecting them, the force of the screwdriver would throw them off a touch again. That is why, the timing fixture, along with buzz box, is ideal.
