Craftsman Timing Light Parts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

raoul.duke · 03-05-2007, 02:52 PM

Has anyone ever seen replacement cords or parts for Craftsman timing lights? I have a fairly new light w/ the advance....but my truck ate the inductive pickup (the part you clip on the plug wires)- it slipped when I took it off the plug wire and it got caught up in the alt belt.

I've looked all over the net w/ no luck. The wire itself is still good but I really just need a replacement spark plug clip.....don't want to chunk a perfectly good $70 light for a $2 plastic part....

i would tink a sears repair center would be the place to get parts for a craftsman product

Whats the model # if they offer replacement parts then it can be looked up.

raoul.duke · 03-05-2007, 04:02 PM

model 21023 but they don't offer replacement parts for it. I just found onw for a different model light @ Summit, will probably buy that one and splice the wires......oh well. That's what I get for buying a nice light.

I had an old sears Craftsman timing light, and just bought a newer Craftsman Variable Advance timing light. The harnesses were the same. The old one got a little burned when the pick up clip on the #1 plug wire got too close to the headers.
You might be able to find the non-advance timing light at a swapmeet or "used tool shop" for cheap and just swap it.

you may want to call the Sears Repair Center in Bannockburn Ill. I dont have their # anymore but you could call 411 and get it. they are on route 43 (Waukegan Rd.)

Sears parts line is 1-800-4-MY-HOME. You'll need the whole model number, which is usually a three digit number, a dot, then 5-8 other letters. For example, 123.45678

Some of the people you will get are morons, some are really good. If the part is unavailable, you will have to send it in to Sears Specialty Repair in Garland, TX. That will be a $69 charge.

Forgot,

This is the Sears Parts Website. You can put in the model number there and get the same parts info/diagrams that the parts line looks at.

Here's the part number for Sears timing lights 21027 and 21023 -- Input Cable Assy: 0038-000-0897. If they don't sell it, why list it in the owners' manual?

Rokcrln · 03-07-2007, 08:14 AM

I have the same linght and mine got to close to the header as well and fow the last 10yrs you have to be very carefull how you open th eplug wire clip or it all falls out

Let us know what you end up doing.

Good question (and thanks for the part # as I lost the manual). There is nothing listed for the model # or the part # on the Sears part website JameslovesJammie gave- this was the first place that I looked but it seems that's for appliances. I'm gonna go over to the Sears HW store on Saturday and see if they can get me that part #. Hopefully it won't be more than the light was originally....

Actually....Thank You '68OrangeSunshine (and Google):

Just found and bought the leads (and now I know who makes the Craftsman lights). Spent the extra $10 for the metal pickup.

this board rules.
