When I got Chug started I figured I was set with my big Sears Craftsman Engine analyzer and adjustable timing light.

The timing light worked just fine. But the analyzer read rpm well off of my on board Dixco tach. For a while I wasn't sure which was closest to reality. Turns out it was the Dixco.

SO I went looking for a new Dwell Tach and found pretty sad choices. A few VOM type units that also had some Automotive tests. But nothing I wanted to spend money on and trust.

So I went to eBay and found a NOS Sears Dwell Tach unit in my price range and bought it. It should be here today.

I was just wondering what others are using. Is everyone still working with vintage equipment?
