    tach meter for points system

    Hi,

    I have an old dwell meter from thirty years ago, and want to use the tach function on it to check the idle, it specifies to hook it to the secondary of the coils to use the tach function. Somewhere on some site, I saw one similar to this being used on a bike like ours for its more precise tach function in tuning the fuel screws. If I do this ,,, will using it in this manner blow up my coils or anything else on the bike.

    Tom, you can use your old tach/dwell meter, it won't hurt anything and you can connect it to either coil negative lead, it won't matter.
