timing light recommendation..

abodyjoe said

seems like my 25 year old craftsman light has about had it.. i guess it could just be the cord but not really sure. i replaced that many years ago..

anyway i'm in the market for a new one. i'd like to have the advance dial but its not mandatory but it does need to be able to work with a MSD style ign without flipping out and all...

so what are you guys using??

I bought this set in "about" 1981.

Dixco usually doesn't bring good feelings of quality, but all of it was made in USA and every single piece still works and works well. I have actually put the timing light up against a couple of Snap On Computer lights and it's dead nuts right. It's not dial back, which I like. I know you didn't ask about a whole kit, but that's the light I have and it's been a dang goodun for a long time. My advice for just a light though is this. One, don't get a dial back. Let the engine do it for you. Two don't get one with a removable cord. They always lose connection somehow.
