The Snap-On test light just glowed with no flashes and no change to the spark. It has a long type bulb in it.
A low cost Test light with a large bulb in it was Bright and flickering and the spark was good but you could tell some difference in it (Maybe I should have reduced the Rpm’s of the distributor).
A KD test light with a small bulb flashed with good spark.
Unhooked the Computer and the spark remained good with on change.
The only time I lost spark was when I unhooked the ground wire from the distributor.
