timing lights
I am going to buy a timing light and don't wan't a cheap one. Snap On has some nice ones.
Ebay may be the way I buy it. Some of the guns are just very basic and some are digital advance/tach/timing lights. I will in the future wan't to change my timing to gain more horsepwer.
I don't have much knowledge of the lights, but, I'm assuming they are all inductive. Does this mean how it connects to the plug wires.
I like the one with the dial on the rear.
Will all of these lights work on a rotary?
Thanks for any advice...Scott

Yeah inductive means it clips around the wire -equals- easier to use
The direct hook-up ones or whatever theyre called, you have to take the wire off and stick the supplied piece of metal in betwen the wire and the plug/dizzy cap. I wouldnt recommend this kind. theyre a pain. I shocked myself using one. lol

The Sears Best Craftman is like 75.00 +/- and it has your dial, is inductive, heavy/solid and chrome plated. It would be the last one you would ever need ( unless somebody swipes it ).

I would only ever buy the cheap kind. Speaking of which, maybe I should get one of those cheap Wal-Mart specials? My old cheapie died last year, and my friend's cheapie has a slow flash circuit (not fun to use as it can't read both flashes of a direct fire ignition system very well).

I'm using a matco digital advance unit that has a switch to allow it to do 2 cycle engines......perfect for doing rotary timing with digital advance........but not cheap.
