We carry a broad range of timing lights including inductive timing lights, advance timing lights and digital timing lights by Actron, Equus and OTC SPX that can help anyone from the occasional do-it-yourselfer to the serious mechanic. Accurately check basic ignition timing, vacuum advance, centrifugal advance and computer advance using an advance timing light. Digital timing lights can switch from 2-cycle / distributor-less (DIS) to 4-cycle / conventional ignition systems and also will display vehicle RPM.
Correct ignition timing maintains top vehicle performance by firing the spark plug at the precise instant of maximum compression to ignite air and fuel in the cylinder to achive top performance from your engine. Use timing lights to set the timing on any engine (computer-controlled or not) that has a conventional distributor ignition system. Timing cannot be manually adjusted on cars with distributor-less ignition systems, but it is important to check computer timing to see if it might be the cause or result of other engine problems. Detailed instruction manuals are included with all of the timing lights we carry. |
