Default Looking for info on a Sun 1160 engine tester

I have been looking for a Sun engine analyzer for a few years now but could never find anything within driving distance until this week and it came at me x3 so I bought all 3 and will pick them up this weekend. A Sun 1120 (1969 year model), 1160 (???) and 1115 (mid 70's I think), can't seem to find any info on the 1160 so does anybody know what the differance is between a 1120 and 1160? Anyone have a picture of a 1160 they can post?

thanks

I can't help you with your questions, but these guys may be able to. If nothing else, there are some references in this thread for parts suppliers. Although the thread starts in 2003, it does pick up again in 2008

To use your machine with a distributor that has been converted with a Pertronix module, make an adapter from a 9V battery following the instructions at Gil's Garage
