I just got the ferrit but it is used in conjunction with a standard timing light for gasers...

i can either get Amazon.com: Equus 3568 Innova Digital Timing Light With Inductive Pick-Up: Automotive

or a used snapon from a former snapon dealer.

whats the model off the snapon meter and what comes with it? do you have a way to test it before buying? does the seller accept returns for at least 7 days (if not,it's likely a paper weight) ?
is the ferret adapter; # V765-01 ?
