Sunpro by Actron makes one I have been using for some time. Cost about 50 bucks and works fine. Should be able to find one at about any parts store (Parts America and the like). I also have one by "Innova Electronics" called the "Advanced Timing Light" This is a Star Wars looking gizmo that has timeing advance, dwell, tach, and a few other functions built in. I got it for X-Mas last year but have never used it so I cannot vouch for its accuracy. The advertising on the box claims it can detect everything short of what you ate for lunch yesterday. It cost about a hundred bucks. Maby a good buy if you don't already have your own tach. If you do why pay the extra $$$ for what you already have? -----Original Message----- From: David Marshall <vanagon@VOLKSWAGEN.ORG> To: Vanagon@VANAGON.COM <Vanagon@VANAGON.COM> Date: Monday, June 01, 1998 1:09 AM Subject: Best place to get Timing Lights?
