  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?
