I have a basic craftsman unit with advance dial back. Works great!

Bought this years ago, now days you can get a good brand like a digital Craftsman for about $100.00

Still using my old Sun Gun I bought back in the '70s. It still works great.

Was using a Snap-on with digital adjustment. (Burned the pick-up on the headers) Now using unit from Farm & Fleet. $40 ? works just as well as the Snap-on unit.

Here's a pic of mine when new. Another CF member has an identical unit we used to check and adjust my 350 at my last tune-up. This does a lot more than I need but is nice to have.

I'm using that same one. the engine analyzer that i use to set my dwel has a tachometer, so i don't need a timing light that is any fancier than that.
