I was curious about Sun distributor tuner and engine analyzers, and what happened to that company, it turns out, Snap On bought Sun

  1. Ah, the days before all the electronic gizmos. I remember the Sun equipment well. So many tweaks & compromises to get an engine to be drivable on the street but give its all on the strip! Of course, if you were working on a customer's car you had to worry more about drivability & economy.There's a few of us still around that remember cleaning & gaping plugs and points; setting the timing; adjusting the dwell; adjusting the carburetor(s). How about balancing a pair of SU's! That was always a treat!
