Kelly,

 

It is a Tee with a top branch made of clear tubing.  The side of t= he Tee is connected to the spark plug location.  Using some fuel line = (anything handy will do), I connected this side branch to an old spark plug= with the internals removed. An o-ring seal was used on the spark plug inst= ead of the metal one so hand tightening was enough.  The bottom of the= Tee is connected to a balloon with soapy water in it.  Squeezing the = balloon and releasing it will leave a soap film across the side branch.&nbs= p; Turning the eccentric shaft will displace the soap film up or down the t= op branch of the Tee.  It will take a little trial and error to get cl= ose to TDC where the soap film isn=E2=80=99t blown completely out of the to= p branch.
