Jacob’s ignition testing. Thanks to Newbomb Turk….

There are two ranges on that meter. A high and low RPM. Both of those are scaled with engine and crank RPM. It is a bit hard to read.

I really need to make a video showing what the Allen 22-250 can really do.

It will spin a distributor to 12k. Most machines only go to 8k and some less than that. That’s crank RPM.

It can also do a magneto, it can test a module by itself and a coil too.

You can run a magnetic trigger distributor (that won’t run by itself) on the machine without a box.

I really need to do that. I know Tuner wants me to leave it to him in my will.

As for the Jacob’s stuff…I was pleasantly impressed with it.

It looks a bit clunky but it works. And it’s so simple even I can wire it up.

I will start watching swap meets and stuff and I’ll start buying those when I find them.

A big THANKS goes to RF360 for sending it all the way up here and letting me test it. I am glad for the opportunity.
Thanks. The Sun Distributor Testers have their tachs in distributor rpm. Works off a signal from mechanically driven contact points - as long as they don't stick - so its one distributor rev per pulse. At least the ones I've seen - which are older. Also have two scales, one for low rpm range and the other for 1000 up.

I'll go edit my assumtion.
