Innova Digital Timing Light 5568 Pro — LED Display, Rotating Barrel & Tachometer

Designed for professional mechanics and serious DIYers, this timing light combines a precise digital readout with heavy-duty construction so you can set ignition timing, read RPM, and check dwell and system voltage quickly under real-world conditions. The slim rotating barrel improves line-of-sight to timing marks while the backlit screen makes it easy to read in dim engine bays. It works across most ignition systems, including conventional, DIS, electronic, and computer-controlled setups for import and domestic vehicles.

How does the 5568 help set ignition timing accurately?

The Innova 5568 displays digital advance degrees so you can see how far the ignition timing is leading or retarding in real time. Its patented skip circuitry lets you capture stable readings even at high RPMs, and the rotating barrel lets you aim precisely at timing marks without awkward positioning.

• Digital advance range: 0–90 degrees for both 2- and 4-cycle engines.
• Patented skip circuitry for stable readings up to 9,990 RPM.
• Slim rotating barrel for precise alignment with timing marks.

What engine diagnostics can I perform beyond timing?

Besides timing advance, the unit reads engine speed (tachometer), dwell angle for ignition systems, and DC system voltage — giving a concise view of ignition and charging performance. These four metrics help diagnose misfires, ignition module issues, distributor wear, and weak charging systems without switching tools.

• Tachometer range: 249–9,990 RPM for accurate engine speed verification.
• Dwell measurement: 0–180 degrees for 2–12 cylinder systems.
• Voltage monitoring: 10–16 V DC to spot charging or battery problems.

What features make the tool durable and easy to use in a shop?

Built in an impact-resistant ABS housing with a molded boot, the Innova 5568 is engineered to withstand daily shop use and accidental contact with fan blades or hot components. The detachable six-foot leads with an inductive pickup add flexibility and reach, and the included storage case keeps components organized between jobs.

• Shockproof ABS housing with molded boot for blade and bump protection.
• Detachable 6-foot leads and inductive pickup for safe, non-contact measurements.
• Includes molded plastic storage case for transport and protection.

Which ignition systems and vehicles are compatible with this timing light?

The 5568 Pro supports most ignition types — conventional points, electronic ignition, distributorless ignition systems (DIS), and modern computer-controlled systems — making it suitable for a wide range of cars and trucks. It’s versatile enough for domestic and import vehicles and works with both 2-cycle and 4-cycle engines where timing and ignition diagnostics are needed.

• Works with DIS, conventional, electronic, and computer-controlled ignition systems.
• Supports both 2-cycle and 4-cycle engine timing and advance readings.
• Universal fit intended for cars and light trucks from various manufacturers.

Who is this for? Technicians, restoration hobbyists, and knowledgeable DIY mechanics who need a single, durable instrument to verify ignition timing, tach, dwell, and system voltage will find the Innova 5568 Pro valuable. It’s tailored for workshop use where reliable readings, easy targeting of timing marks, and rugged build quality matter — especially when diagnosing ignition-related issues or performing tune-ups on a variety of vehicles.
