360 if you need a timing light I have a spare and I don't use either anymore since, as I've explained to Justa, the wife's allergies are why to bad to go back to the older ones, she needs cabin air filters. 

So if you want I could send you one, there good units. Battery clips and mag pickup.

With any luck this weekend, I hope to give Lucy an over due tune-up. Excellent advise 360.

Last Indian, I support what JUSTA said. Kudos to you and your generosity.

Dude you are my hero, After having 2 that had issues, I would love to have one where everything is working. Let me at least pay for shipping? Thank you so much!

Now I took the GTO to work this morning and wouldn't you know? I forgot to adjust the mixture screws so at every stoplight I would get a stumble and a stall. I also had a hard time keeping it running and getting it out of the garage even after the engine came up to full temp. So I got her home, adjusted the screws and it ran like crap. So then I got out MY timing light that has no inductor clip but an alligator clip so I have to stick a paper clip up in spark plug wire #1 and keep moving it into a position that doesn't short out on the block. The timing light I borrowed yesterday had a bad connection at the base of the gun and was intermittent. So I ended up adding back +4 degrees of initial timing and got rid of the idle and stumbling issue at operating temperature. So I guess I will see how it is to start and warm up on my next trip out. It's been years since I have had to "tune" a car so this stuff and the tricks of tuning are coming back to me slowly. I guess it helps to do this on a consistent basis to remember all that's needed to perform a complete tune .

Glad to help, really what good is a timing light setting on a shelf doing nothing?

360 I just need to know where you want it sent, shippings no big deal. Besides after seeing what bitch Irma did to you, that's enough to take care of.

it might be old, but it is a good one.

360, I learned a long time ago when folks helped me and my family out in a time of need, I was humbled and grateful. It made me want to pay if forward. So if you see someone whom you can help....do it ! That will be reward enough for me at least.

My plans to give Lucy a tune-up this weekend  went up in flames. My wife was suppose to be out of town until Saturday night. I ended up getting a text message from my boy late Saturday morning saying that they (the wife, the kid and mom-in-law) were on their way back home because my wife had been up all night on a work related called and she was still on it at 11:00 a.m. She needed her work PC, which she hadn't expected to take with her on Friday night when she left the house. So now I was going to have a house full of people. So much for peace and quiet to work on the car.

Oh and to add insult to injury, while at the Sellers show on Sunday with JUSTA, we determined that my power switch on my convertible top has also failed. It would go down but not up. JUSTA rigged a quick jumper wire to the back of the switch and we got the top up. Lucky I had already ordered a new switch and I have it to install. This weekend I expect to install the new switch as my first priority and then do the tune up.

I should also extend a shoot out to JUSTA for helping me diagnose the convertible top switch and helping to make sure the top was up before leaving Sellers on Sunday!

Thanks buddy!. :clapping:

I would suggest using the Personal Message feature for this kind of information so that it is only used by yourself :) . We will normally delete any personal information like this that is not secure to protect users.

You are the man Justa, thanks! Sorry for the delay 360, but as a bonus, well maybe it's not, I'm also sending an old TRW tach/dwell meter. Should get to Fedx tomorrow!

Hoka Hey!

Ringo thanks for your help as well! Hope things are getting back to normal!
