I suppose you can identify a weak spark by the intensity of the flash?

Yes. The intensity tells you a lot.

Good. That's what I was hoping for.

Color, too?

Now, don't go grabbing the wire to test the intensity.  Don't put it on your tongue.   :D

Actually I’d wet my hand and run it on a wire to find weak insulation. No shock that it worked well. 😂

So as not to hijack this thread, go to General Discussions for some shocking events.

I got my handy-dandy Lisle Spark Tester delivered at my doorstep on Sunday.  Today, I decided to see what it might show the cause of the miss on my truck.  Well, it showed nothing.  So, I went to the Fiero.  Nothing.  I started looking closely at the bulb and it didn't have a filament.  Amazon said throw it away and they'll send a replacement.

Michael, I have 3 GM OEM gaskets.  They are graphite coated and I believe they have a wire mesh inside them.  Email, text or PM me your address again and one will be in the mail in the morning.

If you still have these, would you send me a pic, please?

I received the free replacement spark tester.  I haven't tried it but there is no filament in the bulb on this one, either.  Does anyone have a spark tester of this type, without a filament in the bulb, and it works?  Maybe all my vehicles just have spark too weak to show?

I just received my Lisle Spark Tester.  How to tell, about the bulb?  If it works?

Maybe there's supposed to be a spark in the bulb, across the gap where the filament would be. That would make sense to me.

Makes sense to me.  I know my Fiero has spark.  I was personally the spark tester.  Yowser!
