I bought the Flaming river battery powered one it's definitely not bright enough in the day light went back to my trusty craftsman 2134

I have an old Sears/Penske 244-2138 and it works fine with my MSD 6AL ignition boxes.

Glad I looked at this thread. I will put a power point in engine bay to check timing. It will be switched and fused. Thanks

larry what is apower point

Larry Hill · 04-02-2019, 01:57 PM

I may have used the wrong words but to me it's a place to pick up (+) side of battery.

The flaming river is a good light and plenty bright enough. I bought a second one and don't use the Snap On anymore due to no convenient power point in the engine compartment

For a power point I bring a little 12 volt Battery with me . I have a 16 volt battery in the car don't think i can use that for the timing light anyway .

The old Craftsman 2134 works for me with an MSD. I just connect the (+) lead of the timing light to the low voltage (+) side of the coil.

My old Sears light has been getting dimmer and dimmer . Checked the DOB on my drivers license and made an appointment with my eye doctor . He fixed me right up.
