602 timing issue

[fastford]

I have been aiming to get one of those , I,m using a old craftsman that you hook to the car battery , I sit in the stands a lot of nights and hear engines popping at high rpm,s and wander what kind of light there using..........

light

I personally like the flaming river battery operated light---they are about $50
the MSD light is a bit brighter but but the cost is quite a bit higher as well
however, in any case we never like to see anything with a button or dial that alters the timing read
even when those lights are used correctly they have had errors in calibration

we are working a deal with Flaming River and hope to include a new timing light with every new engine sale and rebuild
we have had so many terminal failures due to the fancy timing lights that we would rather give you a timing light and have you visit us every 3 or 4 years rather than become someone that I have their shipping address memorized.

I use one of those Flaming River lights. they work very well, but you are correct, the light is a bit dim. I set timing, and if I am in shop I double check it with the lights off just to be sure.
