Sadly, the MSD doesn't have any features and it works the same as a basic $30 timing light. High price to pay just because it works better on multi-spark ignitions.

My ancient Actron works fine with my MSD 6A and I see it still sells for only 30 bucks. For 70 bucks you get a dial back timing light. Actron sells digital light for only $50 but the instructions make no mention of multispark ignitions. So we can buy 2 Actron lights for half the price of an MSD.

If you swing by Corey’s Bagels you’ll see my car. I work next door at Visual Dynamics. It’ll be there after 10.

Hey teknospdr, I caught a glimpse of your machine going west on Eau Galle yesterday (think it was yesterday)/would have stopped but had to hurry home. Hope you have a reserved parking slot with fellow employees on both sides! I used to go to Cory's for bagels, but never was crazy about that tight parking lot. Catch you next time........
