Klein is reputable for general use. How is the 6-pack, Hemi Roadrunner doing?
Sorry, Mic. I'm working on the house and was thinking multi meter. Disregard.

I got a Kar Check brand off eBay a couple years ago. I suppose it works ok. Does tach dwell and points.
I want my fair share

I recently bought a Actron CP7677, works fine, matches what my old 80's era dwell meter reads. OF course it is now discontinued, lol. I recently bought the CP7678 with a few more features to replace my original trusty Sunpro version. The RPM was off by 300 and the volt meter off by point .2 volt. Always double check what you get.

Just a heads up for anyone looking for a deal on a fully loaded Craftsman. NapaOnline has these on sale for pretty cheap. And they have a 10 dollar off promo code that makes it even sweeter. The deal is though, if you use the code it drops the price to under 35 so you lose out on free shipping. I added in a 3 dollar gasket I'll eventually return to get the free shipping and it brought my price down to under 33 bucks delivered. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/CTMCMMT14171https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/FPG6579NAPATEXT

I think Klein might make an automotive analyzer with dwell. Came up in my search, but didn’t look at the details.
Car is doing well, something up, either points, condenser or coil. Hence wanting to be sure where the dwell is.
How’s the cuda? Is your Dizzy a factory dual point? I have my original on the shelf if you want to test those parts. It puts out a nice strong blue spark. This is a bit pricey, but does the job and then some. https://www.tooltopia.com/otc3505a.html

Was working well until the strap for the condenser rubbed through the insulation and was shorting against the distributor wall! I may just have an another bad condenser in there, so trying to figure that out
