Thoughts on the digital timing light/rpm/dwell units from Craftsman? They decent? Or do folks generally stick to the oldschool non-digital gun, and a separate oldschool meter for rpm and dwell?
I picked one up today, timing and rpm only, no dwell, model 14066. There’s a big discrepancy between its rpm reading and that of the factory tach. I wonder which one is right. My gut would say the brand new digital one, as opposed to a 43 year old factory tach that could easily be out of spec, but after setting my idle comparing both and sort of averaging them, I feel like I’d be happier with the idle if I used just the dashboard tach. I’m going to start a thread specific to that though, and leave this one to be just discussion/opinions of the craftsman unit, of anyone has anything good or bad to say about it.
I got the next model down (Amazon.com). The first one came with a faulty pickup, which prevented the tach and advance dial from working properly. The second one works great. Thank you Amazon for free return shipping.
