Questions & Answers

Can you tell me how long the cord is?

Six feet of cord are included in the package.

Do you know if this will work with a 1983 Honda 750 V45 Magma?

According to what I can tell, the V45 uses a V4 which all Actron timing lights can use. The plug wires are not confirmed to be routed as we could not tell. However, we believe that the clamp will connect properly given enough wire length on the plug wire. For more information, please refer to the factory shop manual.

Is there a setting for the rpm reader?

Timing lights like the CPT7529 do not have a tachometer integrated, but the CP7529 does. Your question is much appreciated.

Does the pick up clip have more than one direction? Other timinglights I have owned had an arrow pointing to the spark plug side?

A pointer or arrow cannot be seen on the pickup of the unit I have. It works well, but to be honest, I haven't used it much. My mechanical skills are limited to the work I do on my old cars only.

The toy appears to be cheap plastic
3/5

Thanks to my well-made, dependable timing light, I don't have to worry about it. There are unfortunately some MSD combinations that aren't antibiotics In order to ignite a spark system, a non-flammable fuel must be used A timer light with an adjustable setting. It's simply because it was cheap that I bought it for those rare occasions. In this device, there is no strobe at all. This is junk.

This program is both intuitive and functional
3/5

This is an easy-to-use product, with good quality, but be aware, it can be difficult to operate in direct Outside, the light is too dim, and the timing mark on damper is hardly visible in bright light unless the vehicle is in a shaded area. It replaced a 30 year old craftsman and is similar in every way except for the brightness of light. However, it functions just fine.

It's a good timing light
4/5

A pickup unit for my Sears timing light that has been working for years broke down. With advance option, this lighting device was top of the line (at the time). In order to check/set the timing on my older BMW bikes with two cylinders, I required a simple functional timing light. I wanted a light that would work well for me, and this did the trick! Does it have a 20-year lifespan? Not a care in the world! As far as functionality goes, we like the product because it does what it is supposed to! It was shipped to me in the original packaging and placed in a "sack. " The packaging on this was questionable. I was glad to discover that the light was working when I tested it out! This light gets a 4 out of 5 star rating for its It is a 1 star package from Amazon.

For the price, it's a great light
5/5

The light was just as bright as the one I used to have that cost $125. The 70 Z/28 Camaro I put an electronic ignition in my original distributor was not working, so I needed to check it. After having my old timing light flash three times and stop working ever since I installed the new ignition, I never knew if the new ignition was the issue or the old timing For the price, this was a great buy! It worked as I had hoped and I was super pleased with it!.

Worked well for me
4/5

Despite the fact that it performs well for the price, I don't believe it is suitable for anything extra than the daily driver. You can spend more money if you want to get more accurate results! This was just to check my compatibility with my system and I found it to be fine for that purpose but I'd wait for a better one if I were doing a performance application.

The price is right, and it is exactly what I needed for my 1970's vintage car - It is a good product at the right price
4/5

There are plenty of leads to go around. Actron is the company I purchased three items from. You should unpack the product with extra care On the card, you will find instructions It had a high point on the top, which I cut It's a mistake. I found the packing on this product to be a bit of a hassle. coiled around the molded plastic package, which is crush-proof and indestructible. My only option was to cut the thing to pieces in order to remove it There are a couple of small issues. A good product from a good company at a good.

My vehicles run perfectly when the timing is set correctly
5/5

used to have one that my father gave me years ago, but it stopped working. Buying a new one is time! After trying it out, I am very pleased with the simplicity of the product and the functionality. It functions in the exact same way as one that is I think it is very easy to connect and use, and appears to have a very solid construction. It does what it is supposed to do. Once I got the kit out of the box, I was able to set the timing in both my old truck and my Volkswagen Beetle almost immediately! The timing light I used on my classic vehicle was extremely accurate and I would recommend it to anyone who tinkers with classic cars!.
