    You did good.

    I have most of the same stuff that I bough 30-years ago and it's still performing great.

    Yep, some very useful stuff in there, pretty much what I have in my toolbox too. Good score. :) You won't use them every day, but when you do they really come in handy.

  11. I have been using the exact same timing light on some very high end race engine builds on the dyno and in the field for over 20 years now, they are a EXCELLENT lite!!!!! Anyone tries to tell you other wise doesn't have a clue, it is as good as my MSD lite that cost 4 times as much. That is one helluva score guy, TR

    As a general rule I don't read a post with "score" in the title. But, you done good.

    All my friends were Craftsmen tool junkies in the 60s. I always searched the Sears sales catalogs for tools. Didn't you?

    That's a steal for 10 bucks. That will all work with the cars we have!

    I still have that engine analyzer, and my matching timing light stopped working because I put the clamp too close to some hot exhaust and melted the heck out of it. probably from the early 80's...

    Looks like the stuff I started with when I got my first job wrenching back in 77.

    Great score even if you had paid three times that. I've got the same timing light that I use as often as my other Craftsman that is adjustable.

    That whole set is great for cars and trucks with point type ignition.

    Yeah, I figured how could you go wrong for 10 bucks. That's less than the cost of lunch. :)

    I have the engine analizer. I use it several times each year to set points and other things as well. Was given to me by a friend. Handy peice of equipment!

    I had all those except the analizer, all bought when I first started working on cars while in High School (1973), the analizer was out of this high schoolers budget.
    Just last year I tossed the timing light in the trash, finally quit working. Felt like I was buring an old friend. To find these in the original box for $10, yeah, you scored.

    My dad gave me the timing light and analyser when about fifteen years ago out of his attic. I still use them to this day and they work great. They will never die.
