Timing Light Recomendations
 

It's about time to replace my old Sears timing light and I would appreciate some recommendations from you guys. The one I have has the old dial advance on it and I like that feature but I know the newer ones have digital readout and I wondered how well that works? Jim

The Sears non digital / non adjustable or the MSD timing light are still the best for setting timing on a with a car with an MSD ignition.
For non MSD applications I like my MAC tools digital light.

The Sears lights are very good.

OK, I guess the 'ol Craftsman it is! Thanks for the input! Jim

I have the old Craftsman timinglight but the pick up is damaged. Does Sears still supply parts?

Yeah I thought that until the dyno pointed out my 'aint broke' timing light was 10 degrees out. Since then I have been told MSD is the only way to go.

p.s. try and find a timing light locally..... can we say scavenger hunt?

Flaming River............... If you have a MSD (type) box....

X2 on the Flaming river light and just to let you know My Mac and Snalp on lights worked great but showed about 6 degrees more advance over a MSD or Flaming river lite as most lites do not like multi spark systems!! I have seen more burnt pistons because of guys not using a good timing light. Most Timing light are made to work work with OEM systems and the timing is set a curb idle.

Here are some links to look over.
