It could be one of those legal issues where their light may work, but could give inaccurate readings or could be damaged, so their legal department says they can not recommend them of state they can work. I believe they know more about their product than I do. So what's on the inside that's so different?I did not ask for specific details as to why Innova’s own Technical Services Rep said their light doesn’t work on multiple spark ignition systems.Īll he said was they won’t give accurate readings and will be damaged by the higher voltage from the ignition system. They both use 'inductive theory' to work and are very similar in design i.e. Innova, isn't recommended for a CD multi spark box while another inductive timing light e.g. So, what's up with that? Can someone comment on why one inductive timing light e.g. My Innova works, other forum members say they work and customer reviews say they work. Now I can start looking at good vacuum gauges and an AF gauge. Its pricey but if it works the best, I guess that’s what I need. Next I called MSD (Holley) and they said to use any inductive strobe type timing light and suggested their model number 8992. They also suggested that I call MSD and ask them for their recommendation. When I told them about the comments here on the forum and on the Summit Racing website from people who are using their timing lights with an MSD distributor, they said they may be working, but the results may not be accurate and it’s only a matter of time before they malfunction. ![]() Innova told me it’s best to use a basic strobe timing light with any multiple spark distributor and rely on the timing tape on the balancer. They said the pulse voltage going through the plug wires from an MSD is to high for their timing lights which effects the readings and will at some point blow the circuit and destroy the electronics in the timing light. Innova, told me that their timing lights will not work with any multiple spark distributors especially an MSD. In this case I called Tech Serices for both MSD and Innova. I like this forum because when I get different answers from people I respect, I know I need to do additional research. ![]() Yes MSD Ignition 8992 - MSD Inductive Timing Lights Thanks, Greg Innova 5568 - Innova Pro Timing Lights If you have an MSD Ignition system, what timing light do you recommend? If not, Does anyone know if the MSD timing timing light in the below add is a Dial Back? ![]() I'm looking at this Innova timing light that is a dial back light, however it is not Multi Spark Compatible.ĭoes anyone know if this timing light will work with my MSD ignition system? I'm looking at timing lights and I've read threads that state that a dial back timing light works the best.
