74 2.0 Stock w/ all the timing marks ect..
What type of timming light is reccomended for the above 914. I have a dwell meter/engineanalyzer that apparently does rpm and would like to get a quality timing light without buying/paying for features I will not need or use.. Inductive, Self Powered, Dual Beam, RPM, Advance ect? Do I need advance if I have timing marks or is advance even more precise.. What are you using ect.. I have bummed my neighbors usually but am moving and need to get mine own.. and recently ditched the electronic ignition for points.. |

I had a mac digittal one. When it worked it was cool. When it workedm I would just get a craftsman with advance knob. Pretty plain unit but works every time.

You will love every Snap On tool you buy, more money but they are the Porsche equivalent in tools.
