AFAIC, that helps. Said "engine analyzer" is available at
Autozone for a digital version, $80. Available at Ebay,
bidding is at $10 at the moment for a Sears Craftsman
(older?) version that clearly has "dwell" noted on its dial
knob. No idea what the quality of either of these is, but if
the guts of this isn't much more sophisticated than a
digital multimeter, I figure one can't go too wrong with a
cheap engine analyzer. Looks like fun, too...
