I have the same one I use. It does work on MSD ignitions.

How long have you had yours??
I un-earthed it from my father in laws stash, or horde, about 6 years age. Still, in the box. No telling when he bought it.

I hope this gray gook burns off early today. This wearin' a sweatshirt in the house all day stuff is gettin' old.
I think those were made by Actron. Good lights!
I’ve got to buy a new timing light as well.
Needed that yesterday.
Yeah... that’s the exact reason I need a new one.. it literally does not work. Brand new otb
99 with a 4 cyl. Was still a pita.Frank....Ever put an alternator on an 04 Honda CRV ......
Not what you guys are talking about but, it's amazing the amount of restoration work that gets done here on FABO by people that don't have a clue. Gotta start somewhere I guess. LOL

Hey bartender!
Hey! I resemble that remark...
You saying I don't have a clue?
No the folks here in the coffee shop are quite knowledgeable. There are greenhorns out there asking questions about things they shouldn't mess with. They need to learn some basic theories how things work or how they are put together.

Every single service manual starts off with basic principles,or,they used to.bolt identification and torque specs is something i recall. You could learn to be a mechanic by reading the service manual cover to cover. Not just pick the page you want the info from right now.
In today’s world of instant information its easier to ask than to think.
Youtube videos are a perfect example. Not many can be bothered to watch a 37 minute video when they can get what they need in 3 minutes or less.
I’m guilty of it.
Written publications tend to be more informative then some videos though.

Just the facts, ma'am
I dunno. The younger ones and even some older folks go to the video channels first.
Well that's easy. The published books are usually written by technical writers with the help of, and review by, the engineers and techs. Talking about the good ones. But even many of the 2nd tier stuff for hot rodders and racers at least written or helped along by people with some experience and knowledge.
When I wanted to learn more about working on cars my buddy had me buy McGraw Hill's Automotive Technician book. Yup - had all the basics. Still have it, along with a bunch of FSMs - which are for the most part, great. AMC's 1984-87 SJ/J is the exception.

Afternoon folks!
When i learned to read, a couple years ago. i read dad’s 50 some odd practical handyman’s encyclopedias. Popular mechanics project books too. So i started reading manuals of various kinds since i was 5 years old. I still have them.
Useless question of the day!
Can you make a tomato light a light bulb?
yes, by sticking two dissimilar metals in the tomato (which is acidic) , you can create an electric current which may light a small light bulb

Do we want to know how you found that out?
I have been reading a thread here about a newbie asking how to replace a trunk floor. Thought the floor was glued in place.
Hey Ramie, didn't use your windshield gasket?
