Timing light recommendation
Hi,
I'm after a timing light with an advance function. Long story short my project car has only a single mark, being TDC. Ignition timing should be
10 degrees BTDC.
I could mark the crank pulley. But it's only about 5" in diameter, and with the margin of error I'm likely to introduce will end up
being somewhere between 5 and 15 BTDC.
or does anyone in Newcastle have one I can borrow?
oh might need a gas tester for a few days too

I reckon one should be able to make one using white LEDs for a couple of quid. LED technology has advance a lot recently so shoiuyld be bright
enough.

Just buy a strobe, the middle of the range gunson one has an advance function on. Think they are about £40 in halfrauds, prob cheaper on ebay.
Its not that difficult to mark the pulley, but you will have to take it off to do it accurately.

I managed to get a digi snap on strobe light off ebay. Fantastic bit of kit. Great investment for £30.
