      You New Skooler - lol lol lol

      Pods were in the much newer Automate 450

      My Crypton is a 350 Motorscope

      Designed so the tuner makes the decisions and is not ruled by a tele screen

          What vintage is that then? '84 I remember the old mobile dwell meters from Crypton and the Automate from around '93 but that thing is old, if you're not careful when tugging at the timing light you can pull the unit closer to the car than you want, well when the wheels still move on it that is and of course one never should forget to apply the wheel brakes

              I'm going back to '87 when they were the latest thing in tuning technology, so that has to be from several years before then.

              Nice bargain price too Dave

              When are the rollers coming in so you can tune on the 'run'

                Did you get the new MOT Robbo?

                Nice one Dave Custom, I have a similar Bosch unit. Excellent piece of kit that take the guessing out of diagnosing ignition faults etc.
