Default Timing light - Innova 3568

My current timing light does not have a built-in tach, a feature that I would like to have. I've been looking at an Innova 3568 and it seems to have what I'm looking for, and at a reasonable cost.

Any of you use that model? Any comments on it's use?

Thanks!

Larry

Many on this Forum use the Innova 5568, me included. The feature list at Amazon (link) shows that this is the only model that supports "Digital Tach", but then the image shown for the 3568 shows a working digital tach. So who knows EDIT: The tachometer feature also works with the 3568 (Amazon's table is incorrect).

If you have certain multispark ignitions, Innova timing lights of any flavor may not work. The 5568 does have dwell and voltage, which are useful additional diagnostic tools, especially if you end up helping a buddy with a points distributor.

I have two different models of Innova timing lights. Never had an issue with either one. Recommended.

Guys,

Thanks for all your input. I ordered a 3568 from Amazon Prime; should arrive later today.

I like mine. If you have trouble with multi spark using any timing light use a separate battery.
