i would first want to know what kind of ignition system you are running. is it totally stock or is it upgraded at all? how often do you plan on using it? how much do you intend to spend?

My car´s ignition is like any later B14 GA16DE Sentra: Coil Inside Distributor, Electronic Ignition, cables to sparks.

Engine is already stock but planing to get all N/A bolt-ons and later I'll get a couple of Classics SE-R & plannig to modify both, 1 Turbo, other N/A.

I'm planing to advance ignition for any buddy that ask for it (many without tach), so, each other week.

Money, I don't want to spend US$300 for a Snap-On. I've seing some in the US$100-US$120 rank, but I want to know for brands & If something that I can pick up at a store (Autozone/NAPA/Pep's Boys/Advanced) or something like that.

Really, thanks in advance

Thanks for the help, I got an Innova Digital one at O'Reillys, I'm very glad, not guessing about how much advance you make, I setted the timing at 16°, It's more or less cold, so It's a huge change from earlier 8°, I love this tool, It comes with tack, very usefull for non tach cluster cars.

I also got a HUD tack/speedometer, I can check more exactly the correct fitment of this add on with this innova timing light.

By the way some tools I love is my Metric Crowfoot Craftsman set, nothing it's THE solution for removing a temp sensor in a GA16.
