what kind of Timing gun

who uses a basic timing light gun, and who uses a digital gun? I was just wondering.

I use a basic sear brand I think, light gun. It is hard to read the numbers but I get by. I have a red mark on the scale where 0* is, and I have three black marker marks where the 10, 20 , 30 * is .. helps out.

Should I invest in a digi? Theyre kind of expensive no? Tools are expensive! :headscratch:

I use an Equus digital like this one.
Yup, good tools are expensive, I think this one was $109. You can turn the light on and off, read the exact engine rpm, check the timing advance or retard, all without turning the distributor. If you'll be spending a lot of time around distributors and timing engines, invest in a better light. If all you'll use it for is a yearly tune up, then a regular Craftsman light will be enough.

Nothing wrong with a Craftsman, I still have one myself. :D
