I seem to remember buying an Acton somewhere in the mid $30 range.

Do you not have a CEL in the cab? I have an acton sitting on my desk I don't use but it isn't mine to give away or sell either. I just use the paper clip. I actually kinda like doing it that way better sitting in the cab counting flashes rather than counting flashes and or beeps over an engine with headers, no cats, flowmasters, canons and an exhaust leak somewhere on the passenger side bank. Colletor maybe???

Well I honestly know nothing about timing lights I have yet to do the timing bump for lack of money so I'd say it's probably decent buy you'll have to ask ymeski or someone

ACTRON

I bought one/ I use it/ All the frickin time/ I'm happy with it/ It's not that easy to make me happy when it comes to tools/ You can spend more if you want too/ Personally I wouldn't as you'll probably loan it out & loose it before you need to use it again anyway.
