I need to buy a timing light (I think)
Two questions: 1. Do I need one to time my 1.7L? )as I recall I didn't need one for my beetle) 2. What should I look for/avoid in a timing light? I was going to stop by pep boys but I can't count on them to know anything about the lights except cost. Thanks for any help, |

you can borrow or rent one from FLAPS....
my favorite are the adjustable delay ones... so that way you ONLY need ONE mark (TDC) on your pulley. E.g. "i need 12 degrees initial advance at idle, and 29 degrees full advance at 3000 rpm" you set the light to delay 12 degrees... and when timed correctly, you see the TDC mark..... |
