best timing light for toyota camry

[drstanton1]

hello

I drive a 1989 toyota camry with a 3S-FE, 2.0, 4 cyl, U.S. built

Could anyone direct me to a timing light that works with this engine. I read in one of my manuals (from camry stuff) that not all lights work with this engine.

I would like it to work with modern cars too so I can use it more than once. A built in tachometer would be nice.

You need one with an inductive clamp to place over the number 1 spark plug wire. The old style where you pulled the number 1 spark plug wire off of either the distributor cap end or the spark plug end will not work becuse the spark plug end is down inside the cam cover, and the plug wires are permananetly attached to the distributor cap on the OEM cap.
