IMO and experience, the use of a timing light is easy/fast and more accurate once you learn how to use it !


I haven't used a timing 'pin' for decades. I have an 'antique' timing light and a 'kind of modern' timing light and use both.


The latest modern light uses it's own source of power to activate, making it even simpler to use.


The one thing that you have to know how to provide ...timing marks for the light to 'read'. These marks are made (paint and/or scribe) on the crank pulley and/or balancer if equipped.
