If you have a "dial back" timing light, you may want to make sure it will work with your Crane ignition.


I had one and it wouldn't work with my aftermarket ignition so, I sent the light to Texashillcountry just to **** him off............I like him though.....

That's a much nicer light than the one I sent to THC........


My neighbor had a garage sale and put a Craftsman timing light up for sale for 10 bucks, so, I bought it.


All metal, no dial back, just the light. Works like a charm! I'm guessing it's 20 years old......... but looks like new.
