Without knowing the engine's condition you shooting blind at fixing it. While your looking, trace every vacuum line, vapor canister, fuel tank vent even the fill cap. Any increase in engine speed is a vacuum leak and needs attention. If the vacuum is lower than 15 inches at idle, carefully spray carb cleaner around carb base, carb fittings, vacuum lines. Adjust the carb mixture screw (s) to get the highest steady vacuum. If it flickers and you had low compression in one or more cylinders, your due for a valve job. The vacuum should be 15 to 18 inches at idle and be rock steady. Using both, time to factory specifications and also try to get the highest vacuum. Get a vacuum gauge and connect to any constant vacuum source. Follow the gauge's instructions If one (or more) cylinder is less 120, squirt some oil in it and try again. 2 product ratings - Vintage SEARS Craftsman Advance Timing Light 161.2194 -No Cable-75.00.

C3 Tech/Performance - Favor Please: Need instruction manual for Craftsman advanced timing light. It's seldom that I just snatch 'em out for giggles, usually only when I replace the cap-or the wire set. Upon looking at the other wire ends in the distributor, I found those to be showing some green signs too. Of one of my wires had turned green and the very end of it had fallen off (inside the distributor tower that it snapped into) Its not been but a few weeks ago that I replaced Willy's wires-he had a skip-I found that the brass pointed insert tip When you have your clip around the wire you are selecting for your timing light, are you close to or touching a nearby wire? Try your clip in different places on the wire. New wires too, if it's been forever since they have been changed. If the plug might be somehow be grounding itself (internally?) maybe the wire will cancel its (burst, energy?) Swap the plug too, with another cylinder or with a kept old one. The trigger down while pushing/ pulling/ wiggling the wire into the gun, is the light intermitted now? Or pulling has found a short in the wires leading into your timing light? Hook to #3 ? and hold Pulling over to #1 wire might be tugging on your connections? The Pro Shop discount helped.I always hook the other clips directly to the battery + and - & scooch 'em around to insure good connections. The only CON is the cost, but worth it to me due to wanting the brightest light. MSD 8991: Self-powered, lightweight, easy to maneuver point n shoot, and the light is VERY BRIGHT no matter where you’re using it. It was kinda sketchy/irrational with 16v’s, but got it to settle down. Shooting the light was not good outside in the sunlight, but okay in the garage. Like years ago, I hated fumbling with the extra long cable lines. Vintage Sears: I believe I’m the first to ever open the box. Pulled the car into the garage and was able to see the light better and it was fine after that. Like I previously said, self-powered is cool. Almost impossible (for me) to see the light during the day in sunlight. Still have to find the right angle when shooting it. My middle of the day in/out of sunlight review:įlaming River: Put a new set of batteries in it. The lights predecessor worked fine on the set of wires I found on the car 81 262 PRV V6) but I changed them. Yes, the arrow on the induction pick up device is pointed at the spark plug. Yes, the battery connections are hooked up. Initially I thought I was receiving something from Kimber LOL! My inductive timing light will not flash when clamped to the spark plug wire. Some inductive timing lights are sensitive to polarity, for that reason some are marked with an arrow and 'Toward Plug -> ' and some are not, but most are polarity sensitive. Mine arrives tomorrow, so I’ll try it out this weekend.ĭid you get it? Can you give us a review of it? Quite a few well known engine builders use them, and a little birdie also recommended it. I didn’t read any of the reviews, especially Amazon. I was thinking of getting that one, but the amazon reviews don't look so rosy. The MSD 8991is probably the best available new.
