It's Timing Light time! - Page 2

Some old MSD literature I have gives a Sears Penske part no A2134 as the one to use. I believe the 2138 is the newer version of that light and looks like the old chrome light MSD sold for years. I still have mine and it works great.

There are a number of 2134 and 2138 lights on ebay for $50 or less and in nice shape. I always chose vintage mint or excellent condition US made stuff over new, import crap and would grab one of those if I were in need of a light to use on an MSD system.

I just looked at my craftsman light and its a 28-2134 and yes it's the chrome one. The light is reasonably bright and never been an issue for me. I also looked at the one in the trailer to be certain it was the exact same as my original and it is. If memory serves me I think I paid $20 or so on eBay for the trailer light and it was like new in the original box. It works just fine too and shows the exact same readings as my original and an old Sun timing light I compared it to. I'm sure there are better and more expensive out there but I am OK with what I have. If its off a few degrees from a wazoo light I'm Ok with that because to me it's just a reference as long as it will repeat. The motor will tell me what it likes.
