Need a Timing Light

[Barnyard]

Anybody have any recommendations for a decent timing light for use on a Cub. I'm looking for something to use on 6v and 12v.

no 6 volt timing lights out there, use a separate 12 volt battery to power the timing light when working on a 6 volt system, I see good lights on auction sites all the time go cheap, they are a tool of the past no longer used on modern cars as they have no distributor and ignition is all controlled by the computer

use a separate 12 volt battery to power the timing light when working on a 6 volt system,

I'm trying to avoid that if I can. I have seen some self powered lights out there.

I have a self powered timing light and it worked very well. Takes two D cell batteries and very bright light. Don't make the mistake I did by leaving batteries in during prolonged storage.

Sounds like you found your light.

I am still using a timing light that I bought from J C Pennys in 1973. It doesn't have an inductive pickup but it works equally well with 6 or 12 volts.
At that time Pennys had an automotive center here.

I would suggest getting one with adjustable advance for use on engines that have a distributor, but originally had a magneto and only have one timing mark.
