Being an old-fashioned guy I find these new-fangled digital timing lights rather initimidating. The instructions do not seem to make sense, perhaps they were written by someone for whom English is not the native language.
I have the Actron Digital CP7529 which I purchased from PepBoys, OK, OK, OK, everywhere else was totally out of stock just before Christmas. It has a whole array of buttons on the back and a little display.
Can anyone please, in the context of a Bugeye with a 1275:
<ul>[*]remind me how to set the base timing initially, it has been well over 30 years since I last did it
[*]provide me with a simple set of instructions on how to set the centrifugal advance with this Actron gun thing, and possibly check out the vacuum advance to see if it is working OK. Do I need a vacuum pump?[/list]For a start I have noticed it is d**n near impossible to get to see the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley.
I would be ever grateful.
