I have a ferret timing light that you can make brighter and dimmer. Best timing light I have owned and used for 25 years...Works on every type of ignition I can think of.

Yep. Thats why I bought the cheap light. My good light wandered off and couldn't find it's way home.

It looks like the Ferret instruments timing light is discontinued. So does MSD have a new vendor? Are they as good?

Another one bites the dust. Closed their doors October 31,2017. There are some tool companies that still have some but I bet they are going fast. I don't know who will take over the high end timing light market.

So in reading this it seems the best is a battery powered one? I really wish there was a dial back that worked w a MSD.....By the reviews on Amazon the Flaming river is far less than reliable and warranty service is non existent.
