Years ago I seen a set up like that with tach and a
light... wasnt a small unit.... for MSD I use a Flaming
River light... has 2 D batteries in it so its self powered...
the best light I've ever owned and works great with MSD

I really like my Snap On digital light, Works great on anything I have ever set timming on, from MSD, to an old Oliver tractor.

The blue one is this picture is the best light made for MSD. MSD sells it also at 159 bucks, buy it. It's the best period.

It will make the one with batterys seem like junk.

I use it for MSD and the craftsman dial back for when the balancer is not marked. These are all mine, I have tried them all, plus other's that are not pictured.


Buy this one, you won't be sorry and never want to use junk again.

This looks a lot like my Matco Tools light and would be willing to bet it is the same. It has a lot lot of nice features such as 2 stroke/4 stroke , DIS ignition options as well as RPM and timing readout. The two buttons on the trigger dial the timing in.
I can't find the same model light on Macto's website but they do have a newer version.
