dynamic ignition timing

[boxpleat]

With the battery being in the boot, does anybody know how I can connect a strobe light? My V8 is fitted with electronic ignition, so static timing is ruled out.
All ideas gratefully recieved.

I use any old car battery lying around the garage. The strobe doesn't need much power so even a knackered battery will do.
Otherwise any live feed and earth will do but I don't like the idea of leads lying all over a running engine plus I bet the leads on the strobe wouldn't be long enough.
