MSD Timing light not functioning?

I have a complete ignition system from MSD, 6AL ignition controller, Pro-billet distributor w/ mechanical advance, Blaster 3 coil, and Taylor 8mm spyro-pro plug wires. I cannot get my inductive Timing light to work at all, I have tried another light w/ same result, I try both lights on my toyota p/u with stock ignition, they work flawlessly. I am not sure if there is something wrong with the ignition, or if the lights just wont read it, any thoughts?:confused:

i have used some msd 6als and never had any problems getting time to read i would look at your wires take number 1 off and put a stock wire on it and see if the pickup can work

I use a Flaming River self powered timing lite. Works great. My son uses the same on the Top Fuel Nostalgia funny car. No problems.
