Injection timing equipment sources

So I want to get the equipment to re-time my injector pump, but despite alot of reading I am having alot of trouble determining what exactly I need to get. From everything I've read it seems that the generally accepted best method of timing is to use a quartz crystal on the injector line of the #1 cylinder which is then observed with a fairly generic, mid to high end, timing light (the Ferret ones seem to have alot of preference) for this purpose. From what I have read this seems to be the preferred method over the luminosity method for both ease and accuracy of results.

So the question I keep hitting is, where do I get the quartz crystal/adapter/device to attach to the hardline? All the stuff I have read with specific parts or links are a few years old and don't really seem to work.

Thank you! That is extremely helpful. In all that I read I don't think I came across that post!

Talking timing device

i just tried my SEALY TIMING LIGHT CONVERTER BOX which i purchased thru amazon [181.37] worked just fine, it ships from across the pond [free].

hooked it up to my gasser timing light w/advance set to 8, i was slightly off but will adjust after my new injectors
