Dwell/Tach/Timing Light
I need something to tune the Mustang with and the guy I talked to the other day was really stressing a purchase of a Dwell/Tach/Timing Light. How often do you guys use yours though? The Christmas list is getting kind of cramped and This is all I can find. Are there any cheap alternatives? Do you guys use yours much at all or would I be okay just borrowing one from someone?

Thats a pretty expensive setup, nice though. Unless you're racing, I think its overkill. I check my timing once a year, if that. Dwell only needs to be set when you replace points. If you have the Pertronix solid state setup, you don't even have to do that. I think thats over kill. I'm sure you can find something more economical at Sears.
