Condition: Used

YOU ARE BIDDING ON THIS KENT-MOORE TOOL# J-33300 TACH-N-TIME DIESEL INJECTION PUMP TIMING TOOL. COMPLETE WITH ALL HARDWARE AND INSTRUCTIONS. THIS TOOL WAS USED IN GM DEALERS FROM 1978 TO 1983 FOR THE 5.7L, 6.2L, AND 4.3L DIESEL ENGINES....COULD BE USED FOR OTHER MAKES AND MODELS..I HAVE READ THROUGH THE INSTRUCTION BOOK AND IT STATES AND SHOWS THAT THIS TIMING KIT CAN ALSO BE USED ON IH 6.9L V8, PEUGEOTS, VOLKSWAGONS, VOLVOS, NISSAN, MITSUBISHI.... GOOD LUCK WITH BIDDING.

I asked this Q and was answered:

Q: I can't see in the pics: does it come with the pickup as shown in this picture? http://asavage.dyndns.org/ftp/Nissan/Ke ... 00_02b.jpg

YES, THAT PICK UP IS THERE, AND IT IS IN THE PICTURE. THE HANDLE OF THE CARRYING CASE IS BLOCKING THE END OF LEAD... THANKS FOR ASKING.

This looks to be a nice, complete setup (it has the pulse transducer, which is the important part). So far, with only one day to go, the price is very reasonable. I paid hundreds for the two of these I own.

Yes well it would be lovely to have, but it's crossed the $100 barrier and there's still about 8 hours to go.

And then there's always that closing bell rally that adds some $$.

As I said, I paid hundreds for each of mine.

There is a different brand, same function product at auction too, but I haven't heard of it before.

[asavage]

Sold for $154. Lots of different people bidding on it.

[glenlloyd]

I noticed that it became very popular at the end. Still the price seems reasonable at $154, I expected it to go higher to be honest.

Yes there is an art to winning ebay auctions, I have not even begun to figure it out. Frustrated myself consistently last year trying to buy an injector pop tester. I must not have understood the real market values. Ended up finding one local on craigslist.

The Tach-n-Time looks like a worthwile tool.

Do we have working numbers that would allow the Tach-n-Time to help us set IP advance?

No, not yet. Stay tuned -- working with the Toyota 2L, I am thinking about a different approach to the mechanical timing adapter.



This type of tool may allow better access than the shortened VW adapter.

Like the Nissan special tool, you can't actually buy the Toyota tool either

Now that's a slick little tool. Never seen one before but it makes perfect sense if you clearance issues.
