Dwell/Tach meter
Posted: Sun May 17, 2015 9:39 am
Looking for recommendations/sources for an affordable and accurate meter.
They're not available "off the shelf" for purchase within 50 miles of my location (who would use shelf space for a tool only .01% of todays population would ever use?) I used a feeler gage and timing lite on my truck and am
satisfied w/performance, just want to dial it in closer if possible.

Here's an offering from Sears internet sale. $34 bucks shipped.
I'd sure rather hold it in my hand before I plunk down the bucks but I know that's not always possible
I'm running a stock 24V system. These meters are set up for 12v and 6 or 8cyl eng. I read where it said to double 8 cyl readings for 4 cyl application but what would I expect using a 12V meter on a 12V sys??
Might there be a unit available out there more purpose built for our trucks?
And yes I do have the dwell adapter in my kit.
