OR

A Ferret adapter - I believe this is the one I have - can't verify because it's loaned out. Add any inductive timing light with programmable advance & RPM readout. Look for a thread by OLDBULL8 on it's use, plus the instructions were pretty easy even for me.

I went with the Ferret after getting a used Snap On off eBay that was a bit more worn and incomplete than the description, and having to return it.
