There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
After doing some research and checking reviews here on Amazon, I decided to give Innova's 5568 Pro model a shot. All I can say is "Wow, I'm impressed". This digital model is super easy to use. The directions are a bit lacking and confusing, but once you fire it up, it's very intuitive and easy to use. I was pleasantly surprised by how understandable the functions were once I started using it on the motor. Induction works 100% right out of the gate; no problems whatsoever. The digital timing advance/retard function worked really nicely also; you can push the arrows and watch the timing mark move forward or back 1 degree at a time. Very steady readings. I also appreciate that you can read the RPM's directly from the unit. This saves me from having to attach other diagnostic equipment. It's also nice to be able to turn off the flashing light when it's not needed.
All in all, really impressed. Very nice timing light and seems to be very accurate and well designed/made. If you are considering between this model and the lower priced models, all I can say is the extra money gets you into a whole different ball park of quality. I wish I had gone with this model straightaway.

Nice feature is concurrent display of timing light delay with rpm so you can check base timing, mechanical advance and vacuum advance vs rpm. Timing flashes seemed consistant and steady. Also has concurrent display of system battery voltage vs rpm to check charging voltage vs rpm. Includes a dwell meter so you do not have to connect a seperate piece of equipment to check the point setting.
The unit has a detachable cable that includes Inductive Pickup, Coil Connection and +- battery connections. The clips are a good size to make connections to battery and coil. The inductive pickup has a plastic cover so need to be careful with hot exhaust. I recommend hooking the unit up exactly as the manufacturer specifies in the manual. The only manual that came with the unit is a quick start quide. A more complete manual is available on the Innova website.
I will have to see how this unit holds up over time. Hopefully it will be reliable and last a long time. I have had my old timing light for 30+ years and it still works - but does not have the variable delay feature like this one.
Note that I ordered the 5568 but the unit i received is marked 5568a so these comments apply to this version.
I recommend this unit for anyone with points based ignition.

Strobe was bright enough to do the job.
It's a much easier unit to work with compared to conventional strobe lights, so as far as I'm concerned it was worth buying. I was able to fix my idle and timing right there and then and car is happy now.
I did have to contact them for the full manual, but that was well indicated and quickly provided.
