Post Paging Daytona Beach or close residents

I need some help with my car. Basically i put a new clutch in and I now I need to check the timing on my car. Its very low on power and every once in a while it has a small backfire. I am going to do a complete tune up but need a timing light to make sure my timing is correct. Anyone willing to let me borrow one? A few beers are in it for ya Thanks to anyone that can help.

You should be able to get a loaner timing light at any AutoZone store. You have to leave a deposit and you get it back when you return the tool (timing light). Heck, if you're quick enough maybe you can use it in their parking lot.

Cool Thanks Mislman!! Good info. I will have to try that out. Hopefully getting this timed will stop the small backfire on startup I am having. Keeps blowing my intake gaskets. hehee

Thanks again.
