Last night I saw a batch of an item on Ebay called a Fox Valley diesel timing adapter-- consists of a lumy probe to go in the injector bore, which then creates a signal through a looped wire to trigger an ordinary timing light that was built for gasoline/ spark applications.
While not absolutely cheap, it's in a price range I could think of getting, which does not seem to be the case with full-spec diesel timing equipment.
Is a unit like that use-able to really set the timing to specs on my 89 7.3? I can't find any shops around here who want to work on an engine this old, and I would like to set my timing to specs in order to try to maximize MPG.
Thanks, and if these are great units, please don't all scarf them before I get home to order one tonight [ebay from work is probably not a good idea].
Thanks!
