I need to buy a timing light (I think)
Two questions: 1. Do I need one to time my 1.7L? )as I recall I didn't need one for my beetle) 2. What should I look for/avoid in a timing light? I was going to stop by pep boys but I can't count on them to know anything about the lights except cost. Thanks for any help, |

No experience with this item, but this is what I was referring to. Tach, advance, dwell, voltmeter, and can handle timing for a DIS setup (wasted spark), too. As I recall, a basic adjustable unit from Sears is about $80, or less than half the price of the digital thing. |
