Default Timing Light

Well finally broke down and bought a digital timing light. Weird how I can justify spending easily over $1000.00 in one weekend in Vegas yet bitch about a measly $100. What a differance between the old **** type. Having the digital RPM read out really makes life easy. Works great only $101 with tax at Kraegan Auto, $109 from Summit

I should have taken a pic of the display when it was on. Yeah it's cool becuase you don't need to check your tach guage at all. I used it by setting the advance to 36 degrees then reved the engine to 2600 RPM and while watching the meter adjusted the distributer. Realy kicks booty.
