I have the Equus 3568 timing light. It works great and the price isn't bad. Amazon has them for $68 with free shipping.

The only problem with the with that one is that the dial isn't as accurate as the digital. That's why I went with the Equus. I also like the adjustable head on the equus. The Equus also has a built in tach function. Makes it a lot easier to check the timing at specific RPMs.

Ed is right. Most "bargain" timing light have a "built in error" that increases with RPM. I have a Jacobs "dail-back to zero" timing light that's accurate to beyond 14,000 RPM's for my bikes. The $10 one's from Harbour Frieght will get you running, and are OK to about 3000 RPM, then they get off far enough to tell on a Briggs and Stratton single running 3600 rpm. On alot of tools like this, you get exactly what you pay for. It's like the difference between a Fluke or Simpson Digital multimeter and a pocket-sized $10 one from Sears. I use an ocilloscope to time one of my bikes...and lots of racers do too on their cars.
