3/24/2024 0 Comments Advance auto actron timing light![]() ![]() So after buying 4 timing lights a single good one is too expensive? :roll: I have a good degree pulley on my engine, so a no frills timing light will do just fine. But alas it died a sudden and painless death at my fumbling hands and thought processes :oops: The Actron unit I killed was one of those with the tach and advance/retard models. The new one has digital tach and you can advance/retard the timing so it'll work spot on with motors without a degree pulley. I gave it to a buddy and got a modern timing light from Auto Zone.

It runs on 2 "D" batteries, and can be used as a flashlight in a pinch. I use a Ferret 84 (a quality Michigan product) when I'm in my own garage,īut I keep one of these in the bag of tools in my trunk: ![]() I had a Sears Penske timing light in the little white plastic case and used it for years. I have a Sears/Penske timing light but have to go look at the model number but it is 6 volt Yep + side of the coil has worked for me for over 40 years. But that might help a thief for a power supply to the coil for a bump start. I was thinking of mounting a power lug on the fire wall.

The + - cables can't reach the battery when attempting to time the engine. Max= They work once and then the next time. You may be exceeding the voltage maximum input of the light. I have a couple of actrons, with and without the dial-back function for many years. If this is in the wrong forum please feel free to move it to the appropriate forum. Anyone have any experience with this model? On an E-bay search today I came across a Sears Penske timing light PN 244.2138. Before this last year I have never burned out a timing light as I have had old metal bodied chrome timing lights that were ruggedly built. When making the timing light connections to my ignition system I attach the inductive pickup on the #1 spark plug wire and the + connection to the generator lug with the large wire attached. Points, condenser, rotor, cap all stock-ish. All of those were constructed of very light weight materials. So I have recently burned out three HF timing lights and when I got fed up with those I went with an Actron model and it too burnt out in short order. I just can't afford one of those high ends timing lights ATM. I know that there are better timing lights out there.
