These timing light are also equipped with an innovative DS Tool software that can update and show you all the customer records through PC, Netbook and other devices. These timing light are equipped with bright LED displays that offer you clear visibility. These timing light are electrically powered and come with warranty periods.Ī features a wide selection of timing light that are available in distinct models, sizes and model-specific features. They can also help in fixing all kinds of crucial systems such as transmissions, engines, brakes, safety, emissions and so on. These timing light are professional-grade, and yet, simple enough to be used by amateurs as well. The tools are very handy, made from sturdy materials such as iron and stainless steel, and can cover multiple systems that are widely used. The unique collection of timing light are sturdy in build and does not require frequent maintenance, saving you money over time.Īll the timing light available on the site are engineered intricately. These sets of timing light are equipped with modernized technologies and can help in taking the utmost care of machines. This is especially prevalent on engines with a chrome or stock timing chain cover that is actually bowing forward allowing the cam to 'walk'.About products and suppliers: allows you easy access to wide categories of timing light that aid in precise monitoring and diagnosis of distinct vehicles and machinery. * On Chevrolet engines, if the timing is retarding 10 - 20 degrees inspect for cam-walk. The correct polarity is whichever connection gives the most retarded timing. Reverse the connectors and check the timing again. * Check the polarity of the magnetic pickup wires of the distributor. It is best to route it along a ground plain such as the firewall, frame or engine block to form a shield around it. It should be routed clear of the coil primary wires and plug wires. * Inspect the routing of the Magnetic Pickup Harness. * Make sure you are not using Solid Core wires.

Try another non-adjustable light and check the timing again. Dial back timing lights are not recommended. * What kind of timing light are you using? Many lights have trouble reading the MSD's capacitive discharge multiple sparks. If your timing seems to be jumping all over the place, check the following items: Ahhhhh you see the problem don't you! If the processor is fast and is inturperting the multiple signals as 3000rpm, 1000rpm, 3000rpm, 1000rpm, how much does it delay before it flashes the strobe?Īt least that's the way it was explained to me. The 'dial back' timing lights process the signal, and use time between signals ( rpm's ) for 'when' to flash the strobe. Put your inductive light on that wire and see if they both indicate the same on the timing tab. Remove the #1 plug wire and use the cheepie timing light as your plug wire. The best check I have found on if your timing light is giving you good info or not is the ultra cheepie (non inductive) lights that plug between the sparkplug and the spark plug cable. The bad part can be that you don't know 100% for sure what your really have, an accurate flash of the strobe, or a delayed flash, or no flash because of confusing multiple signals. (does that make sense?) Anyways, that's why some work, some don't. Others may only process the first signal, and skip any that is incoming while it's processing the first. A lesser timing light may not be able to process the signal and flash the strobe before the next signal comes in, so it figures 'too late' and just process the 'next' signal. Other lights not acquainted with the multiple strike concept may not be able to process the rapid incoming signals and flash the strobe at the 'first strike' of the coil. A MSD timing light suposedly has the circutry to filter out the multiple strikes and give accurate flashes at the first firing of the coil (which is what we want). It's kind of like going from 3000rpm to 1000rpm between cylinders firing. Even tho the mulit-strikes happen in milli-seconds, it happens fast enough to confuse the processor in the timing light. What I have heard is the multiple sparks (below 3000rpm) is what screws with the inductive timing lights.
