I searched under "Victor Like," and "Harris Like" torch sets, but came-up zip. I realize (assume), these kits are foreign (probably, Chinese), made. Has anyone had experience with them, can recommend one-way-or-the-other? I realize that they are not optimum; however, are they safe?

Thanks Ramblin Man.

Got two springs from ACE to modify in some fashion as PJNJ and MATTVETT89 show in their attached photos. Will try and remember to post how it comes out. Thanks for all that responded.

Metaleltr described it better than I did: "I recall a similar item that was like a spring that went between the plug and the wire for a timing light that did not have an inductive pickup, is that what you are speaking of ?" __________________

Possibly. I'll have to cogitate on it awhile.

I have tried, and will continue to do so.

A "field expedient" item, either one piece, or multiple pieces, that will function as the original. PS: Yo recibo un "D" en el germain a la universidad de George Washington. Y, yo soy 50% germain.:sad::

I have an old Craftsman engine analyzer that I want to use on my equally old truck. Had two of the "gizmos" referred to in the title in my toolbox years ago, but they have gone by the way of, "unacceptable losses." I have no clue if either of the names above come close to being accurate. It's...

My question has been answered: It either will be an "upper-end," 4-sensor, auto-darkening, or an "old style" opaque. probably the latter. Thank you all for responding. baugh009

The "Old Newbie" is back, still trying to learn what I have forgotten from high school metal shop some 55 years ago. (Just bought me a low-end Lincoln stick welder.) Of course, back then all we had were "stick" welders, and opaque visor helmets. Now, apparently, the common ones only go dark...

Thank you all for your input. My apologies to bluebolt: I don't think that I ever go back to you. Have been playing nanny to my three young grand children. (Also, I have been diagnosed as an adult ADD (attention deficit disorder). Or, it may just be old age. Whatever. Didn't mean to snub...

It may be overkill, but just bought a small set of 1" impact sockets for use on my sick tractor. Does anyone have a recommendation on a Asian-made, 1" beaker bar? (I predominately have American-made tools; however, I just can't justify the extra cost, here.) I have been looking at Capri, but...

Bought me a Lincoln stick welder at a great price from Lowes a couple of months ago. It's 240 and, although I have 240 at the box, just haven't wired-over to an outlet, yet. As anyone familiar with my posts can ascertain, I am an "old-newbie," who is trying to reeducate himself in shop matters...

I did go to Ebay, and my pocketbook wishes that I hadn't. Had a few too many beers, and over-bought: Two sets of Matco impacts in trays: One metric short, and one SAE long. Have ordered the their complements from Tekron and Sunex, respectively. Now, all that remains is to get my tired old...
