Timing Light On The Gold Coast?

[made_guy]

Hey, I bought the cheapest timing light from supercheap and found it is only good for regular spark plug leads (not an inductive one and not really coil pack plug friendly) so if anyone has a timing light i can borrow and lives on the gold coast give me a holla please

Cheers

i've got a cheap one and it picks up fine off the igniter pack loop. just twice the value, 15deg show up as 30deg. unless you double wrap the loop then its right. and i have tested this at a workshop to see if it was accurate or not.

just thought about it. you probably don't have an igniter pack hey?

gotta take it off to change the timing belt...can't rely on just lining it back up with paint marks i made so want to check it for certainty

hmm not sure, i have the loop at the back of the coil back cover, but was gonna take it off that white wire from the no.1 coil pack itself

all good, bit the bullet and took my $20 one back and bought a $60 one from supercheap which seems to work - car sounds better than ever

donesky though i've just removed the foglights+indicators from my bar rather than cutting into them. next job is the pod cover to get rid of that nasty hot'air lag. oh and now i want a new plenum - that 'front pipe' across the front of the engine with these fmic kits gets way hotter than i expected.

also noticed that it's really not hard to get away without cutting fan blades to install these with only a tiny bit of bonnet contact if any at all!
