Default New timing light ??

My old non adjust timing light has flashed for it's last time. Time for a new ADJUSTABLE advance model.

Any suggestions for the new one.....?

Looking to order one from Summit.com .... seems that no one at Autozone knows what they are used for!

Thanks for any suggestions.......

Don't recall the brand of mine, but it is the digital vs the dial on the back. The digital's also let you see rpm with the press of a button.

Hi f,
Sears has a nice mid-priced Actron.
No one there knows what they're used for either.
Regards,
Alan

I have the Equus 3568, look them up at Summitt or Jegs:

I like the timing and RPM on the display. Works great for $100.

Not sure if this spells the impending doom for timing lights, but when I checked Sears, they had none on the floor and one in the back redtagged last week. Was $179, then $99, I got it brand new for $19.99

It was the Craftsman Digital Professional model. Very nice, so I highly recommend stopping in your local Sears and seeing if you have the same luck!

I just wish my wife could understand why I was all stoked and acting like I'd hit the lottery. Maybe if I had found a deal like that at Bed, Bath, & Beyond... lol
