Older MSD timing light
Question: Is it possible that, over time, those MSD lights become weak? Or do they either flash or not? At age 77, I expect my eyes are as good as ever?well, maybe not. When using the light outside, I can barely see the marks if they are well defined.
Any comments? Is a brighter light on the market? |

Re: Older MSD timing light
Larry, I can't say about the older MSD timing light but my nearly 40 year old Snap On Digital timing light works just as good as my MSD Self Powered Timing Light.

Re: Older MSD timing light
Ed, It is at least 30 and maybe closer to 40. One of the mechanics who worked for me had the Snap-On light, so I will see if it is available to compare.

Re: Older MSD timing light
Ed, we are the same age and I know my eyes are not as sensitive to light as they once were.
If it is a self powered timing light those never seemed very bright to me in the first place. |

Re: Older MSD timing light
The car battery powers the light. My question remains: Does age affect the bulb's brightness? It thinks it was brighter years ago, but so were my eyes.
