New timing light

eddie c · 10-27-2011, 11:23 AM

My trusty old timing light has stopped operating. I have owned it for at least 30 years and it has accompanied me to the the track many times.
Its a Kal-equip co. unit manuf in Otsego,Mich. Does any one know
someone who repairs them? If I can't find a shop capable of repairing
it,I would like some suggestions on what type you use, Thanks for your help. ed

Snap-On MT241 (older model). Works fine.

Go on ebay or racing junk. There are a ton of used ones out there for what I'm sure would be less than it would cost to repair your old one.

Just went through this a few month ago. New stuff is pretty much junk. Find an old Craftsman or the like. Beware though, they are going for premium prices as mechanics are realizing what they are worth. Jim
