MSD ignition delivers it's voltage over a 20 degree duration using multiple sparks. This is most prevalent at rpms under 1000. At 1500 I believe its 2 to 1 and at 3000+ its 1 to 1.

I too have the Craftsman 2134 timing light with a plastic carrying case that I purchased many years ago. Having used a newer MSD timing light, I’d purchase that one now if needed as it was very good in the daylight.

It only delivers sparks until the plug fires, at 3000-ish RPM the multi-spark ceases.
