    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Pray tell what are you working on?

    I have a Stewart Warner Inductive I bought in the seventies.

    I would think what ever brand your local auto parts store sells these days

    Go for Snap On if price is no problem.

    Is it for something else? Cause AFAIK you can't adjust timing on a 5VZ-FE, not with a stock ECU anyway.

    You can adjust static cam-crank timing by 15 deg, spark timing, no.

    Ok but that isn't really related to ignition timing & needing a timing gun.

    True, however, those timing marks are what you illuminate when you follow the FSM for a timing light
