Random posters can provide tips or trick that publishers won't
publish. Any wrong and unsafe tips will and can be disputed -
that's the nature of USENET. Teggar's FAQ may actually be current
than publications.

I've read a few igniter tests at Autozone only to find inacurate input
tests. This same material is published in the Helm manual which can
be as outdated and not perfect. Teggar's FAQ uses a dwell meter,
which isn't required, which in fact be replaced with a better cheaper
tool, a test light.
