looking for diesel timing adapter

[TheBirdman]

I wonder if anyone has a piezoelectric timing light adapter they would be willing to part with. Doesnt look like there is too much demand, and the brand new ones are going for over $300, more than im willing to spend on something Id likely only use once.

I don't have a pizeo type, but I do have a fox valley luminosity type that I'll never use and would part with. It has a thing that you put in the #1 glow plug hole and it detects the ignition flash. If it's of interest message me, if not I really guess I need to post it for sale to one of y'all that want to scientifically time you're engine. I got all hot and bothered about it quite a while ago but then got to thinking about all the variables that go into igniting WMO and mechanical injection and pop values and realized.......there is no real way to time a mechanically injected diesel that is running on fuel that varies in viscosity from fill up to fill up..... anyway, let me know!

Here's the instructions @TheBirdman , or anyone else curious. I made a note on the front of the book that says "5-7°ATDC @1400RPM" That's probably what I decided baced on the mathematical complexities of contemplating the truck and the instructions listed. I think the temple discription at the end of Ezekiel is easier to follow then this books instructions, and Ezekiel is much more interesting and edifying.....in my opinion. But anyway, there's that if it helps.

I dont know, I kind of prefer rpms and degrees to cubits and rods
