Im gonna put a new dizzy on, and i was wondering is a timing light precise enough?

I have a hondata and im afraid that if i put the dizzy back a hair off the original setting, the timing that the hondata adds/removes is gonan be off because of the new dizzy and then kabooom.

Any ideas? Is a timing light precise enough to handle this, cause even with i have a ligth on the flywheel, its fluxuates slightly.

 

get a timimng gun and time it.

 

Shoot timing on your car to see how many degrees advance or retard it's set at. After you install your new distributor shoot timing agian and make sure it's at the same setting. That's what timing lights are designed for; precise timing.

It's best to use a digital timing light ( i.e. snap on, mac) So, you can know exactly what timing is set at.

Make sure you jump your service connector.

 

I know, i have a timing gun. The question is, is the timing gun precise enough.

 

It doesn't get anymore precise than that...
