Have made several of these, they work great. Here's a diagram and a couple pics. Buy LED light, 9V battery connector and butt connectors at Radio Shack. Cost about 4 bucks. Had some extras so I made up 5 more. Can't sell them in this form so just PM me your address and I'll send a free one. When the 5 are gone that's it.

Guaranteed to work or your money back!:)

HOW TO ADJUST CAM SENSOR
  • Set dampener 25 deg. ATDC on #1 cylinder on power stroke
  • Drop cam sensor in with bottom dot facing passenger side
  • Connect tool with battery to cam sensor
  • Rotate sensor counter-clockwise to get leading edge of light to come on
  • Clamp down sensor
 
looks familiar, made myself one of those long time ago mounted everything in one of the little plastic project boxes.
 
Update: I found that if you remove the larger end of the butt connectors red insulation, about 1/8", they plug into the cam sensor a lot easier.
