Shux, you don't need an adjustable timing light to check out the
centrifigul and vac advance. Any timing light will let you see that
those things are working. Anyway, with the engine unloaded, you only
get a momentary glimpse of the vac unit working as you open the
throttle. I suppose you gould dial in the amount of initial advance +
the total vac and see if the light strobes at TDC on the damper, but is
it going to be worth anything unless you are measuring the manifold vac
too? Oh, well. It's fun to play with I guess. ;^)
Cheers,
