Not that I know of Jonathan. I did have Oldmisterbill's ferret adaptor for a bit, but not since the summer. The closest free timing opportunity would be the Rally. But, you'll have to drive a bit to get there.

Sorry buddy.

Hi Jonathan, here is help from a fellow John, Google shows me just about 2 hours from you, I am right off I24. I have the Kent Moore using pulse timing, I have a lummy probe but never used/tested it yet. I even just bought the IP turning tool last night on ebay, Heated garage too.

Good offer?

I heard a rumour that Gary (Icanfixall) has one he rents, but I don't know for sure.

Considering the price of diesel it might be cheaper to rent Gary's, IIRC its $50.00 plus shipping both ways.

fixed for ya lol.;Sweet
depending on how far off the timing is,it could be cheaper by leaps and bounds,even if the price to rent the meter was 4x that, considering the price of fuel and how long the timing should remain accurate.
consider this too;
timed by ear and go advanced too far.
oops there goes a set of 8 Beru glow plugs,that cost you $80 a pop (at discount online.)
not to mention what too far advanced could do to your piston wrist pins etc.etc.
