Re: Can anyone recommend a good 6V timing light?

Oh, Boy ain't that the truth. I connected my advancing timing light to the bronze strip and when I pulled the trigger I got the shock of my life. I have a 12v Pertronix Flamethrower coil so that made it even more lively.
Not a good thing when you have a Pacemaker...
