    timing light

    If the Craftsmen one is the silver metal one, keep it or I will buy it from you. You do not want to use a light with the adj. advance. Really I will take the old Craftsman. Don

    Timing Light

    I use a Ferret Instruments self powered regular light. Didn't ever see the need for an advance light with a locked out mag.

    Shawn,
    I have a fancy MAC TL89 that I have used a couple of times on the wife's car. I could part with it.

    If that is of interest, email me. address is on my site.

    The MSD 8991 is by far the best one I've used.

    Once we started using one of these in the T/F car 10 years ago, I sold all of the other ones I had.

    In stock. $195.00.

    Call 626 815-8815.

    I've used a lot of different timing lights with different teams and the MSD light is the best by far.

    Timing Light

    I looked at the MSD website and the Ferret one I have is exactly the same light with different stickers on it. I guess I picked the right one.

    Adjustable advance

    Years ago we had a snap-on light go haywire on us, motor kept fighting the starter, check it with another guys light, we had about 58* in the motor instead of 38.

    Still dont trust them.
