It's way too costly for what it is.............
Thanks Brian, that clears up the mystery of how it works.

It's really just an electronic version of the notch tool, i.e. static, it's purpose is to line up the notch on the IP central to the port.

I thought maybe it had a function that allowed dynamic timing while the engine was running, although there's no mention of that in WIS.

Would the 'drip/spill' method be as or more accurate?
