Pro tip: spend the 20 bucks on a real timing light, that 1970 Chevelle points job took me 6 hours with the harbor freight one
The dwell meter read 28 instead of 30 and I chased a misfire for 3 evenings before my neighbor across the street in Akron, who's been doing this since before I was born, brought over his old Sun machine and we had it dialed in 15 minutes, so what inexpensive tools do you all wish you'd skipped the cheap version of?

Wait, a Sun machine? Your neighbor just casually has an old Sun diagnostic machine sitting in his garage in Akron? Those things are like the holy grail for old school tune ups and most of them got scrapped or rotted away decades ago. The fact that he walked that thing across the street and had your Chevelle running right in 15 minutes is wild to me. Six hours with the Harbor Freight light vs 15 minutes on real equipment tells you everything about why those cheap ones are basically a paperweight with a cord. Chasing a misfire for 3 evenings over 2 degrees of dwell would've had me pulling my hair out.
