I did the same as you RRoller, but I found a connector with a cover. Those connectors are sometimes used for battery tenders and there are lots of extension cords available on Amazon. I found one with a cap and cut it to length and wired it into the car. The matching end is on my timing light.

Re: 81 timing mark question
Nice, I may look for a cover. The connector I used is a standard trailer rear lights connector. We can compare notes at Tutto.

Re: 81 timing mark question
Any reason not to just use the 12v terminal on the coil?

No coil terminal with the Computronics unit.
