When setting timing on all my rear-engine VWs I always use the generator/alternator positive terminal and put the negative clamp somewhere on the engine. Works fine for me and I don't have to drag any batteries around. The downside is a weak generator that may not produce enough juice at low RPM to power your strobe, but the Vanagon's alternator works great. Chris S.
