20V BT Timing light not flashing...

Currently trying to sync my Haltech ECU timing to the cars and I'm having issues. I bought a timing light from autozone, I'm sure it's not amazing but I figured it was good enough to do the job. After hooking everything up, I cranked the car and was getting intermittent strobes but not near enough to say I know where my timing is at. I thought maybe the issue was I wasn't getting spark. I unplugged the coil from the distributor and saw consistent sparking from that to ground. I read you can use the coil to get the induction pulse for the light but when cranking, the timing looked like it stepped forward with each flash. This made sense to me because the coil should fire for every spark plug so now I'm not sure what to do.
The battle garage install manual is very specific in stating that until the timing is synced with the ECU that I shouldn't start the car but I feel like the car should be running so I can time it. Help me out!
