I have recieved $100 of certificates from Sears for their out of court
settlement. With the $100 I plan to but a Craftsman Timing Light but I have
never used a timing light & don't know which is the best type to purchase. The
choices are a chrome Advance light (around $65) & the black plastic Inductive
light ($35). I will primarily be using the light on a 1968 Camaro & the Titanic( a 1976 Ford LTD wagon with HEI). But I may use it on later cars if this
matters in the choice between the two models of lights. I don't know is the
difference between the two that the Inductive unit can be used on computer
controlled engines & the Advance unit cannot.
Specifically what would I be getting by spending almost double for between the
2 units & is the price worth it in your opinion.
Also I will be choosing between one of 3 engine analyzers they have. All of
them have dwell, tach, & RPM capabilities. Their prices are $35, $45, & $70 for
the digital unit. Any opinion on the guage type vs fully digital analyzers.
