    I had to go check and make sure mine were still in the garage !!!!
    I got all of that stuff except the compression tester in 1978.
    It all still works great. Sears stuff was pretty good quality back then.
     
  2. I have all those same tools lol. My moms friend gave me them years ago, and they work great. Mine are from the 80's when he was building up a chevelle.

    I lost all my tools and a full Craftsman 10 drawer in the early 70s to a garage fire. I ended up buying a sale catalog full mechanics tool kit and waited until the ten drawer went on sale for under 100 bucks. Still have it.
     

  5. Tru dat- I've had the same timing light forever n' it works great. It's been "borrowed" more than once by dudes who can't get accurate timing with fancy digital dial-back timing lights on MSD ignition systems.

    Hell yeah dude you got some nice tools there!

    Brings back memories as my dad has the Craftsman engine analyzer and I played with it on my first car back in high school when I was learning how to wrench.

    Also got zapped for the first time by the plug wires holding that same timing light! :eek:

    Yeah you did pretty good! My dad has one of those he bought while in high school. Still has all the boxes and manuals for it. I used it a couple of times. I saw your post and remembered I need to find one of these to buy for my newer OT Duster. I really liked the timing light. It felt quality and always was accurate. Good find.

    I bought my dad that same timing light for Christmas in 1978. He gave it back to me a few years ago.

    I've got the same engine analyzer and timing light. I bought mine in a package deal with a Mopar intake, carb, 8 3/4 center section, hammer and dolly set, small and large voltage meters and more. I paid $60 for all that from a coworker. It's good to know that the timing light is very accurate as I haven't tested it yet.

    I have the same timing light. When the inductive pick up broke last year Sears still had parts for it....I recently used that analyzer to tune up my 62 Ford 6 cyl...

    All that stuff can be used, a vacuum gauge does wonders if you know how to use it. I have like 7 of those timing lights. :) I made my own remote starter, but If I had to have only 2 (regardless of value), I'd go for the compression gauge and vacuum gauge... Nice set you have there...
