Anybody use one of these - http://www.sealey.co.uk/PLPageBuilder.asp?id=20&method=mViewProduct&productid=13990 - with a timing light? Yes, they're available on this side of the pond. A little cheaper than a Ferret.
I have the ferret adapter, I just don't have the adjustable light. Reading the reviews on the actrons and similarly priced meters leads me to believe some are decent quality and some are absolute junk. And as much as I love the Matco truck I really don't want to spend that much money on a timing light.
Cheap a$$ timing lights are very unstable at the 2000 RPM that the IDI's have to be timed at. The Actron timing light I have shown is stable at that RPM.
Hey Gary, what are all the degree offsets for the idi engines? As you said, I knew that 1&4 are both the -20 offset
