What is a VW 1367?

I just replaced the distributor in an '89 90Q and I'm going to set the 
timing.  The service manual has a procedure for setting timing on '87 
and '88 cars using a timing light, but for the '89 it says, "Checking 
ignition timing using a strobe is NOT necessary".  Does this mean it 
cannot be done, or does it assume everyone has a VW 1367 tool at their 
disposal?

Thanks in advance (heh).

J.B.
