Hey guys

Looking to buy the tools to set the point gap in the dizzy, then to check timing, valve clearances and finally a compression test. Is this the correct order?

I have a 1700 type 4

Don’t want to be paying mega bucks incase I can’t do it myself lol but willing to have a go.

Think I need feeler gauges, timing light and a screw in compression tester but not sure which ones if anyone can point me in the right direction

Thank you x
 
I'm after a good feeler gauge myself if anyone has any links
I got a few but rusted now an I'd like the measurements in both tho and...

Thanks in advance
