Timing Light
I just finished replacing my plugs, wires, distributor and rotor. I'm thinking about buying a timing light to check the timing. What brands/models do you guys recommend?

Don't buy one. Most parts stores will loan you one. Use theirs.

Glenn, I bought the innova 3551 for about 30 bucks. Works fine for me and is sold at Walmart and Home Depot when I got mine. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Innova-In...yABEgJPyfD_BwE

Thanks Sandy/All, ended up ordering the Innova 3568. I'm curious how much my timing is off, if any.
