Re: Looking to buying adjustable timing light...need suggestions..
I would go digital and stay away from the units with the dials in the back of them. I used to have one and it wasn't very accurate I bought the snap on and have never regretted it.

I have a adjustable Craftsman and have no idea what I am doing with it. I'm wanting to get a standard one.
