[Fot] Sun Distributor Tester

[Philip Gott]

These are very helpful. They’ll tell you exactly what your distributor advance curve is, and enables informed changes to get what you want with far less hassle than doing it on the engine! I’ve wanted one for a long time but they are usually priced such that they are in the “want” category rather than the “need” group.
