Hey Guys,
I'm going to install my Pertronix module tomorrow and I understand I will need to check the Timing.
I'd like to buy my own timing light, but money's a little tight right now. Will a cheapy Harbor Freight Light do the job?

Thanks you for your assistance.

I would think if it emits a bright light, it should be fine. It will either work or not. Not much to them.

I have used a cheap timing light and did have to put a blanket over me to see the light but, it still worked!

IMHO Cheap tools are better than no tools, if it becomes on of your favorite tool and breaks then next time buy a real one. That one even hooks up to the battery (short leads though) so I am sure you wont even need the blanket just a cloud or two.
